The fear of the Lord is the offspring of wisdom, and wealth, and glory, and life.

8 Kii xumaan beeraa wuxuu goosan doonaa belaayo, Oo usha cadhadiisuna way dhammaan doontaa.

14 Naago qalaad afkoodu waa god dheer, Oo waxaa ku dhici doona kii xagga Rabbiga laga nacay.

And do you too repeatedly record them for yourself on the table of your heart, for counsel and knowledge.

I therefore teach you truth, and knowledge good to hear; that you may answer words of truth to them that question you.
22 Miskiinka ha dhicin, waayo, isagu waa miskiin, Oo kan dhibaataysanna meesha iridda ha ku dulmin,
Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy: neither dishonor the helpless [man] in the gates.
