4 Children, listen carefully to what I, your father, am teaching you.
Pay attention in order to learn what you should understand.
2 Do this because what I am teaching you is good.
So remember the rules that I am teaching you.
3 When I was just a boy with my father,
and my mother's delicate, only son.
4 During that time, my father taught me. He told me,
“Remember what I have told you!
Do what I have commanded you, so that you will keep on living!
5 Learn what is wise and what you should understand!
Always remember and keep doing the things that I have said to you!
6 Keep doing what is wise, because doing so will keep you safe.
Love doing what is wise, because being wise will protect you from harm.
7 Being wise is the most important thing. So become wise!
Even if it costs you everything that you own, become a person who understands God‘s world!
8 Prize what is wise, so that you will become great.
People will honor you when you value what is wise.
9 Being wise will make you respectable, as though you had an attractive wreath on your head.
Indeed, being wise will make you honorable, as though you were wearing a magnificent crown.”
10 My child, listen attentively and accept what I say.
Doing so will increase the number of years that you live.
11 I instructed you in how to act wisely.
I directed you in how to live in the right way.
12 If you follow my teaching, nothing will hinder you from succeeding.
Indeed, if you attempt great things, you will do well.
13 Consistently remember the things I have instructed you;
keep remembering them!
Always be mindful of them, because they will keep you alive.
14 Do not do what wicked people do.
Indeed, do not behave in the way that evil people behave.
15 Shun doing what is evil. Do not even consider doing it!
Refuse to act wickedly and do something else.
16 Do not act wickedly because it is as if evil people cannot even sleep unless they have done something evil on that day;
it is as if they cannot rest unless they hurt someone.
17 Do not act wickedly because evil people do wicked things as if they were eating food;
they violently hurt others as if they were drinking wine.
18 As for righteous people, they will live wisely and safely as people do who walk in the sunshine;
they will live more and more wisely and safely, just as the sun shines brighter and brighter until the brightest time of day.
19 But the way that wicked people live is dangerous, like people who walk in total darkness.
Like people walking in darkness do not know what they trip over, wicked people do not know what hurts them.
20 My child, pay attention to what I am saying to you!
Listen carefully to what I say!
21 Keep thinking about what I say!
Fully commit yourself to remembering such things!
22 Do this because those who live according to my words will have good lives,
and their whole bodies will be healthy.
23 More than anything else, be extremely careful about what you think and desire,
because those things will control how you live.
24 Do not say anything that deceives people.
Indeed, never say anything that misleads people.
25 Focus on doing what is right, like someone who is always looking straight ahead.
Indeed, act like someone who is looking straight in front of himself.
26 Plan carefully to do things in the right way.
As a result of doing so, you will succeed in everything that you do.
27 Do not do anything other than what is right.
Prevent yourself from doing what is evil.
