The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

Receive my (Wisdom) instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

Let not thine heart decline to her (false way of life) ways, go not astray in her paths.

My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Hear me (wisdom) now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of My mouth.
