1My child, if you receive my words, and store up my commands within you, 1בְּ֭נִי אִם־ תִּקַּ֣ח אֲמָרָ֑י וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י תִּצְפֹּ֥ן אִתָּֽךְ׃
2by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding, 2לְהַקְשִׁ֣יב לַֽחָכְמָ֣ה אָזְנֶ֑ךָ תַּטֶּ֥ה לִ֝בְּךָ֗ לַתְּבוּנָֽה׃
3indeed, if you call out for discernment--raise your voice for understanding--3כִּ֤י אִ֣ם לַבִּינָ֣ה תִקְרָ֑א לַ֝תְּבוּנָ֗ה תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלֶֽךָ׃
4if you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure, 4אִם־ תְּבַקְשֶׁ֥נָּה כַכָּ֑סֶף וְֽכַמַּטְמוֹנִ֥ים תַּחְפְּשֶֽׂנָּה׃
5then you will understand how to fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about God. 5אָ֗ז תָּ֭בִין יִרְאַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְדַ֖עַת אֱלֹהִ֣ים תִּמְצָֽא׃
6For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. 6כִּֽי־ יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן חָכְמָ֑ה מִ֝פִּ֗יו דַּ֣עַת וּתְבוּנָֽה׃
7He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity, 7[וצפן] (יִצְפֹּ֣ן) לַ֭יְשָׁרִים תּוּשִׁיָּ֑ה מָ֝גֵ֗ן לְהֹ֣לְכֵי תֹֽם׃
8to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones. 8לִ֭נְצֹר אָרְח֣וֹת מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וְדֶ֖רֶךְ [חסידו] (חֲסִידָ֣יו) יִשְׁמֹֽר׃
9Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity--every good way. 9אָ֗ז תָּ֭בִין צֶ֣דֶק וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּ֝מֵישָׁרִ֗ים כָּל־ מַעְגַּל־ טֽוֹב׃
10For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you. 10כִּֽי־ תָב֣וֹא חָכְמָ֣ה בְלִבֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝דַ֗עַת לְֽנַפְשְׁךָ֥ יִנְעָֽם׃
11Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you, 11מְ֭זִמָּה תִּשְׁמֹ֥ר עָלֶ֗יךָ תְּבוּנָ֥ה תִנְצְרֶֽכָּה׃
12to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity, 12לְ֭הַצִּ֣ילְךָ מִדֶּ֣רֶךְ רָ֑ע מֵ֝אִ֗ישׁ מְדַבֵּ֥ר תַּהְפֻּכֽוֹת׃
13who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways, 13הַ֭עֹ֣זְבִים אָרְח֣וֹת יֹ֑שֶׁר לָ֝לֶ֗כֶת בְּדַרְכֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
14who delight in doing evil, they rejoice in perverse evil; 14הַ֭שְּׂמֵחִים לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת רָ֑ע יָ֝גִ֗ילוּ בְּֽתַהְפֻּכ֥וֹת רָֽע׃
15whose paths are morally crooked, and who are devious in their ways; 15אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָרְחֹתֵיהֶ֣ם עִקְּשִׁ֑ים וּ֝נְלוֹזִ֗ים בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָֽם׃
16to deliver you from the adulteress, from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words; 16לְ֭הַצִּ֣ילְךָ מֵאִשָּׁ֣ה זָרָ֑ה מִ֝נָּכְרִיָּ֗ה אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה׃
17who leaves the husband from her younger days, and forgets her marriage covenant made before God. 17הַ֭עֹזֶבֶת אַלּ֣וּף נְעוּרֶ֑יהָ וְאֶת־ בְּרִ֖ית אֱלֹהֶ֣יהָ שָׁכֵֽחָה׃
18For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits. 18כִּ֤י שָׁ֣חָה אֶל־ מָ֣וֶת בֵּיתָ֑הּ וְאֶל־ רְ֝פָאִ֗ים מַעְגְּלֹתֶֽיהָ׃
19None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life. 19כָּל־ בָּ֭אֶיהָ לֹ֣א יְשׁוּב֑וּן וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝שִּׂ֗יגוּ אָרְח֥וֹת חַיִּֽים׃
20So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous. 20לְמַ֗עַן תֵּ֭לֵךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ טוֹבִ֑ים וְאָרְח֖וֹת צַדִּיקִ֣ים תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃
21For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, 21כִּֽי־ יְשָׁרִ֥ים יִשְׁכְּנוּ‪‬‪‬ אָ֑רֶץ וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים יִוָּ֥תְרוּ בָֽהּ׃
22but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it. 22וּ֭רְשָׁעִים מֵאֶ֣רֶץ יִכָּרֵ֑תוּ וּ֝בוֹגְדִ֗ים יִסְּח֥וּ מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ פ
