1 O son my if you will receive words my and commandments my you will treasure with you.
Fili mi, si susceperis sermones meos, et mandata mea absconderis penes te,
2 To make attend to wisdom ear your you will incline heart your to understanding.
ut audiat sapientiam auris tua: inclina cor tuum ad cognoscendam prudentiam.
3 That except to discernment you will call to understanding you will give voice your.
Si enim sapientiam invocaveris, et inclinaveris cor tuum prudentiæ:
4 If you will seek it like silver and like treasures you will search for it.
si quæsieris eam quasi pecuniam, et sicut thesauros effoderis illam:
5 Then you will discern [the] fear of Yahweh and [the] knowledge of God you will find.
tunc intelliges timorem Domini, et scientiam Dei invenies:
6 For Yahweh he gives wisdom from mouth his knowledge and understanding.
quia Dominus dat sapientiam: et ex ore eius prudentia, et scientia.
7 (He stores up *Q(K)*) for upright [people] success a shield to [those who] walk of integrity.
Custodiet rectorum salutem, et proteget gradientes simpliciter,
8 To guard [the] paths of justice and [the] way of (faithful [people] his *Q(K)*) he will preserve.
servans semitas iustitiæ, et vias sanctorum custodiens.

consilium custodiet te, et prudentia servabit te,
12 To deliver you from a way evil from anyone [who] speaks perverse things.
ut eruaris a via mala, et ab homine, qui perversa loquitur:
13 Those [who] leave paths of uprightness to walk in [the] ways of darkness.
qui relinquunt iter rectum, et ambulant per vias tenebrosas:
14 The [ones] joyful to do evil they exult in perverse things of evil.
qui lætantur cum malefecerint, et exultant in rebus pessimis:
15 Who paths their [are] twisted and [who are] crooked in tracks their.
quorum viæ perversæ sunt, et infames gressus eorum.
16 To deliver you from a woman strange from a foreign [woman] [who] words her she makes smooth.
Ut eruaris a muliere aliena, et ab extranea, quæ mollit sermones suos,
17 Who leaves [the] close friend of youth her and [the] covenant of God her she forgets.
et relinquit Ducem pubertatis suæ,
18 For she sank down to death house her and to [the] shades tracks her.
et pacti Dei sui oblita est. Inclinata est enim ad mortem domus eius, et ad inferos semitæ ipsius. (questioned)
19 All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
Omnes, qui ingrediuntur ad eam, non revertentur, nec apprehendent semitas vitæ.
20 So that you may walk in [the] way of good [people] and [the] paths of righteous [people] you will keep.
Ut ambules in via bona: et calles iustorum custodias.
21 For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
Qui enim recti sunt, habitabunt in terra, et simplices permanebunt in ea.
22 And wicked [people] from [the] land they will be cut off and treacherous [people] they will be torn away from it.
Impii vero de terra perdentur: et qui inique agunt, auferentur ex ea.
