11 ೧೧ ಮಗನೇ, ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡು ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯವನ್ನು ಸಂತೋಷಪಡಿಸು, ಹಾಗಾದರೆ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ದೂರುವವನಿಗೆ ನಾನು ಉತ್ತರ ಕೊಡಲಾಗುವುದು.

18 ೧೮ ಅಂಜೂರದ ಮರವನ್ನು ಕಾಯುವವನು ಅದರ ಫಲವನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವನು, ಯಜಮಾನನ ಮಾತಿನಂತೆ ನಡೆಯುವವನು ಸನ್ಮಾನವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವನು.

Note well, the appearance of thy flock, apply thy mind to thy herds;
For, not age-abiding, are riches, nor is the diadem, from generation to generation: —

There are, lambs, for thy clothing, and, for the price of thy field, there are he-goats;
With, enough goats-milk, for thy food—for the food of thy household, and, a maintenance, for thy maidens.
