Chastisement
of
Jehovah,
my son, despise
not, And be
not vexed
with
His reproof,
My son, do
not reject
the
discipline
of
the
LORD
, and do
not loathe
His rebuke;
For whom
Jehovah
loveth
He reproveth
, Even
as a father the son He is
pleased
with
.

LORD
disciplines
the
one
He loves
, as does
a father the son in
whom
he delights
.

a
man `
who '
bringeth
forth
understanding .

rubies ,
And
all
thy
pleasures
are
not
comparable
to
her.

are '
wealth
and honour
.
Long

ways
of
pleasantness
, And all her paths `
are '
peace
.

My son !
let
them
not
turn
from
thine
eyes
, Keep
thou
wisdom
and thoughtfulness,
My son, do
not
lose
sight
of
this:
Preserve
sound
judgment
and discernment.
And
they are
life to thy
soul ,
and grace
to thy
neck.

not afraid ,
Yea,
thou
hast
lain
down
, And
sweet
hath
been
thy
sleep.

you
lie
down, you
will

foot from capture
.
for the
LORD
will
be
your
confidence
and will
keep

Withhold
not good from its
owners,
When thy
hand
`
is '
toward
God
to do
`it'
.

good from the
deserving

, and to-morrow
I give,'
And
substance
with
thee
.
Do
not tell
your
neighbor
, “Come
back
tomorrow
and I will
provide”—

the
means
.
Devise
not against
thy
neighbour
evil, And
he sitting
confidently
with
thee
.

of
a man of
violence,
Nor
fix
thou
on
any of his ways .
Do
not envy
a violent
man or
choose
any of his ways ;
For an
abomination
to
Jehovah
`is'
the perverted
, And
with
the upright `is'
His
secret
counsel
.
for the LORD
detests
the
perverse
, but
He
is
a
friend
to
the upright.
The curse of Jehovah
`
is '
in
the house of the wicked .
And
the habitation
of the righteous He
blesseth
.
The curse of the
LORD
is on
the house of the wicked ,
but
He
blesses
the home
of the righteous.
If
the
scorners
He doth
scorn
, Yet
to the humble He
doth
give
grace
.
He mocks
the
mockers
, but
gives
grace
to the humble.
Honour
do
the wise inherit, And
fools are bearing
away
shame !
The wise will
inherit honor
, but
fools are held
up
to
shame .
