2 My son, accept what I say.
Consider what I command you to be precious.
2 Do this by listening attentively to what is wise,
and by thinking seriously about what you should understand.
3 Yes, cry out to learn what you should understand.
Cry loudly to learn what you should perceive!
4 Try to find what is wise, like you would try to find silver.
Indeed, look eagerly for it, like you would look for a treasure that someone has hidden.
5 If you do those things, then you will understand how to reverently fear Yahweh.
You will even succeed in knowing God.
6 This is because Yahweh provides people with what is wise.
He tells them what they should know and understand.
7 He gives what is truly wise to upright people.
He protects people who behave honestly.
8 He does these things in order to guard those people who live justly,
Indeed, he keeps safe those people who are faithful to him.
9 If you listen to me, then you will understand what is righteous, just, and honest,
even the best way to behave.
10 This is because you will truly know what is wise,
and knowing what you should know will please you.
11 Being discreet will make you safe.
Indeed, being insightful will make you secure.
12 Being like this will protect you in order to save you from people who behave wickedly,
and to save you from people who speak perversely.
13 Those people refuse to behave righteously in order to behave wickedly.
14 They gladly do evil things.
They enjoy evil and perverse acts.
15 They behave deceptively.
Indeed, they act deviously.
16 Being discreet and insightful will protect you also in order to save you from adulterous women,
and to save you from immoral women who speak to you seductively.
17 Those women left the husbands they married when they were young.
They even forgot the promise they made to God when they married.
18 Being discreet and insightful will rescue you because going to her house will result in you dying.
Indeed, going with her will result in you going to the place where the spirits of dead people are.
19 No one who has sex with her will live again.
They will never become alive again!
20 Therefore, behave like a good person.
Indeed, conduct yourself like a righteous person.
21 Ultimately, people who live uprightly will live in our land,
Indeed, people whom Yahweh does not blame for acting wickedly will stay in this land for a long time.
22 By contrast, people who act wickedly will be removed from our land.
Even people who act treacherously will be completely removed from this land!
