For Yahweh he gives wisdom from mouth his knowledge and understanding.
7 Anochengetera vakarurama kukunda, iye ndiye nhoo kuna avo vane mufambiro usina chaunopomerwa,

Those [who] leave paths of uprightness to walk in [the] ways of darkness.
14 vanofarira kuita zvakaipa uye vanofarira kusarurama kwezvakaipa,
The [ones] joyful to do evil they exult in perverse things of evil.

16 Zvichakuponesazve pamukadzi chifeve, kubva pamudzimai asingazvibati, anokwezva namashoko ake,
To deliver you from a woman strange from a foreign [woman] [who] words her she makes smooth.
17 uyo akasiya murume woumhandara hwake uye akashaya hanya nesungano yaakaita pamberi paMwari.
Who leaves [the] close friend of youth her and [the] covenant of God her she forgets.
18 Nokuti imba yake inoenda kurufu, uye nzira dzake kumweya yavakafa.
For she sank down to death house her and to [the] shades tracks her.
19 Hakuna anoenda kwaari achidzoka kana kuzowana nzira dzoupenyu.
All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
20 Naizvozvo iwe uchafamba munzira dzavanhu vakanaka uye ucharamba uri munzira dzavakarurama.

For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
22 asi vakaipa vachaparadzwa panyika, uye vasina kutendeka vachabviswa pairi.
And wicked [people] from [the] land they will be cut off and treacherous [people] they will be torn away from it.
