[1] He who fears the Lord will do this.
He who has possession of the law will obtain her.
[2] She will meet him like a mother,
and receive him like a wife married in her virginity.
[3] She will feed him with bread of understanding
and give him water of wisdom to drink.
[4] He will be stayed upon her, and will not be moved.
He will rely upon her, and will not be confounded.
[5] She will exalt him above his neighbors.
She will open his mouth in the midst of the congregation.
[6] He will inherit joy, a crown of gladness,
and an everlasting name.
[7] Foolish men will not obtain her.
Sinners will not see her.
[8] She is far from pride.
Liars will not remember her.
[9] Praise is not attractive in the mouth of a sinner;
for it was not sent to him from the Lord.
[10] For praise will be spoken in wisdom;
The Lord will prosper it. [11] Don’t say, “It is through the Lord that I fell away;”
for you shall not do the things that he hates.
[12] Don’t say, “It is he that caused me to err;”
for he has no need of a sinful man.
[13] The Lord hates every abomination;
and those who fear him don’t love them.
[14] He himself made man from the beginning
and left him in the hand of his own counsel.
[15] If you choose, you can keep the commandments.
To be faithful is a matter of your choice.
[16] He has set fire and water before you.
You will stretch forth your hand to whichever you desire.
[17] Before man is life and death.
Whichever he likes, it will be given to him.
[18] For the wisdom of the Lord is great.
He is mighty in power, and sees all things.
[19] His eyes are upon those who fear him.
He knows every act of man.
[20] He has not commanded any man to be ungodly.
He has not given any man license to sin.
