and in/on/with knowledge chamber to fill all substance precious and pleasant
5 Shujaa wa hekima ni imara, na mtu wa maarifa huongeza nguvu zake;
great man wise in/on/with strength and man knowledge to strengthen strength

12 Kama utasema, “Tazama, hatujui chochote juu ya hili,” je yule anayepima mioyo hajui unachosema? Na yule anayelinda maisha yako, je hajui? Je Mungu hatampa kila mmoja kile anachostahili?

15 Usisubiri kwa kuvizia kama waovu ambao hushambulia nyumba ya mwenye haki. Usiiharibu nyumba yake!
not to ambush wicked to/for pasture righteous not to ruin rest his
16 Maana mwenye haki huanguka mara saba na kuinuka tena, lakini waovu huangushwa kwa maafa.

19 Usifadhaike kwa sababu ya watenda mabaya, na wala usiwahusudu watu waovu,

21 Mwanangu; mche Yehova, na umwogope mfalme, usishirikiane na watu wenye kuasi dhidi yao,
to fear: revere [obj] LORD son: child my and king with to change not to pledge
22 maana kwa ghafula msiba wao utakuja na ni nani ajuaye ukubwa wa uharibifu utakao kuja kutoka kwa hao wote?
