By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

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

When thou goest, it (Commandments) shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain My words: keep My commandments, and live.

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they (Commandments) add to thee.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
