3 My child, remember the rules I have taught you!
Always be mindful to obey what I have commanded you!
2 Do this because obeying what I have commanded you will help you live for a long time with many fulfilling and peaceful years.
3 Always be faithful and trustworthy.
Let everyone see how faithful and trustworthy you are, as if they were a necklace you are wearing.
Remember to be faithful and trustworthy at all times.
4 As a result of doing so, both God and people will approve of you and consider you an insightful person.
5 Trust Yahweh completely,
and do not rely on what you understand.
6 Let Yahweh lead you whenever you do anything.
As a result of doing so, he will show you what you should do.
7 Do not think that you know what is best.
Instead, revere Yahweh and refuse to do what is evil.
8 Doing so will make your body healthy.
Indeed, doing so will strengthen you from the inside.
9 Revere Yahweh by giving to him some of your riches,
and by giving to him some of the first crops from everything that you harvest.
10 Doing so will result in your places for storing crops becoming completely full of crops.
Even your containers for wine will overflow with fresh wine.
11 My child, do not refuse to listen when Yahweh corrects you.
Do not be resentful even when he rebukes you.
12 Do not respond in that way because Yahweh only reproves the people whom he loves,
just as a father reproves the children whom he cherishes.
13 People who become wise are happy.
Indeed, the people who understand Yahweh's world are the ones who are truly happy.
14 This is because being wise benefits people more than silver could benefit them.
Indeed, being wise is worth more to people than having gold.
15 Being wise is more valuable than precious jewels.
There is nothing that you could desire that is worth as much as being wise.
16 Being wise will help you live for a long time.
Being wise will help you become wealthy and honorable.
17 Being wise will allow you to live pleasantly.
Indeed, in every way being wise will allow you to live peacefully.
18 What is wise is like a tree with fruit that sustains the people who possess it,
People who are consistently wise live happily.
19 Yahweh made the world through being wise.
Through being skillful he made the sky and everything in it.
20 Through knowing all things, Yahweh made water burst forth from deep below the earth and he made water fall from the clouds above.
21 My child, always remember to do what is prudent and brings a good outcome.
Always be mindful to do those things.
22 Doing so will give you a satisfying life
and people will honor and respect you.
23 Doing what is prudent and good will also cause you to live safely.
They will keep you from making any serious mistakes.
24 When you lie down to sleep, you will not fear anything.
You will lie down to sleep and sleep peacefully.
25 Do not worry about something terrible suddenly happening to you,
or about what will happen when God destroys wicked people.
26 Do not worry because Yahweh will make you confident.
He will not allow people to harm you.
27 Do not refrain from giving what is good to people who deserve it
when you are able to do so.
28 When you are with a friend who needs something, and you have it with you, do not tell that person,
“Go away and come back tomorrow. I will give it to you then.”
29 Do not plan to harm people that you interact with, because they live near you and they trust you.
30 Do not argue needlessly with someone who has not harmed you.
31 Do not envy violent people.
Do not imitate anything they do.
32 Do not do so because Yahweh detests such people who act wickedly,
but he converses like a friend with people who act uprightly.
33 Yahweh causes bad things to happen to the families of wicked people,
but he causes good things to happen to the families of righteous people.
34 When people ridicule others, it is Yahweh who ridicules them,
but he kindly helps those who are humble.
35 People will honor wise people,
but people will shame foolish people.
