My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
