1My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,1בְּ֭נִי אִם־ תִּקַּ֣ח אֲמָרָ֑י וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י תִּצְפֹּ֥ן אִתָּֽךְ׃
2making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;2לְהַקְשִׁ֣יב לַֽחָכְמָ֣ה אָזְנֶ֑ךָ תַּטֶּ֥ה לִ֝בְּךָ֗ לַתְּבוּנָֽה׃
3yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,3כִּ֤י אִ֣ם לַבִּינָ֣ה תִקְרָ֑א לַ֝תְּבוּנָ֗ה תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלֶֽךָ׃
4if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,4אִם־ תְּבַקְשֶׁ֥נָּה כַכָּ֑סֶף וְֽכַמַּטְמוֹנִ֥ים תַּחְפְּשֶֽׂנָּה׃
5then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.5אָ֗ז תָּ֭בִין יִרְאַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְדַ֖עַת אֱלֹהִ֣ים תִּמְצָֽא׃
6For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;6כִּֽי־ יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן חָכְמָ֑ה מִ֝פִּ֗יו דַּ֣עַת וּתְבוּנָֽה׃
7he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,7[וצפן] (יִצְפֹּ֣ן) לַ֭יְשָׁרִים תּוּשִׁיָּ֑ה מָ֝גֵ֗ן לְהֹ֣לְכֵי תֹֽם׃
8guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.8לִ֭נְצֹר אָרְח֣וֹת מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וְדֶ֖רֶךְ [חסידו] (חֲסִידָ֣יו) יִשְׁמֹֽר׃
9Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;9אָ֗ז תָּ֭בִין צֶ֣דֶק וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּ֝מֵישָׁרִ֗ים כָּל־ מַעְגַּל־ טֽוֹב׃
10for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;10כִּֽי־ תָב֣וֹא חָכְמָ֣ה בְלִבֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝דַ֗עַת לְֽנַפְשְׁךָ֥ יִנְעָֽם׃
11discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,11מְ֭זִמָּה תִּשְׁמֹ֥ר עָלֶ֗יךָ תְּבוּנָ֥ה תִנְצְרֶֽכָּה׃
12delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,12לְ֭הַצִּ֣ילְךָ מִדֶּ֣רֶךְ רָ֑ע מֵ֝אִ֗ישׁ מְדַבֵּ֥ר תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃
13who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,13הַ֭עֹ֣זְבִים אָרְח֣וֹת יֹ֑שֶׁר לָ֝לֶ֗כֶת בְּדַרְכֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
14who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil,14הַ֭שְּׂמֵחִים לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת רָ֑ע יָ֝גִ֗ילוּ בְּֽתַהְפֻּכ֥וֹת רָֽע׃
15men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.15אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָרְחֹתֵיהֶ֣ם עִקְּשִׁ֑ים וּ֝נְלוֹזִ֗ים בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָֽם׃
16So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,16לְ֭הַצִּ֣ילְךָ מֵאִשָּׁ֣ה זָרָ֑ה מִ֝נָּכְרִיָּ֗ה אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה׃
17who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;17הַ֭עֹזֶבֶת אַלּ֣וּף נְעוּרֶ֑יהָ וְאֶת־ בְּרִ֖ית אֱלֹהֶ֣יהָ שָׁכֵֽחָה׃
18for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;18כִּ֤י שָׁ֣חָה אֶל־ מָ֣וֶת בֵּיתָ֑הּ וְאֶל־ רְ֝פָאִ֗ים מַעְגְּלֹתֶֽיהָ׃
19none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.19כָּל־ בָּ֭אֶיהָ לֹ֣א יְשׁוּב֑וּן וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝שִּׂ֗יגוּ אָרְח֥וֹת חַיִּֽים׃
20So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.20לְמַ֗עַן תֵּ֭לֵךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ טוֹבִ֑ים וְאָרְח֖וֹת צַדִּיקִ֣ים תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃
21For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,21כִּֽי־ יְשָׁרִ֥ים יִשְׁכְּנוּ‪‬‪‬ אָ֑רֶץ וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים יִוָּ֥תְרוּ בָֽהּ׃
22but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.22וּ֭רְשָׁעִים מֵאֶ֣רֶץ יִכָּרֵ֑תוּ וּ֝בוֹגְדִ֗ים יִסְּח֥וּ מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ פ
