son if receiving saying of my commandment hide unto yourself
shall obey wisdom ear and set aside heart unto understanding admonition son
if for wisdom call upon and understanding give voice
perception seek great voice if seek as silver treasures search out
then perceive fear lord knowledge God find
for lord gives wisdom from presence knowledge understanding
treasures up keeping straight deliverance shield goings
guard way right actions venerating protect
then perceive righteousness judgment set up all courses of action good
if for come wisdom into consideration perception soul good seem
counsel good guard reflection sacred keep
that rescue from way evil man speaking nothing trustworthy
O abandoning ways straight darkness
glad over evils rejoicing perverseness
far from way straight alien righteous design not overtake bad counsel
left instruction youth covenant divine forgot
put near death house Hades with earthborn courses of action
all coming near not return nor overtake paths straight years life
if for went paths good find even righteousness smooth gracious inhabitants earth guileless left behind
for upright encamp land sacred left behind
