The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
… From the wayward wife with her seductive words.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways.
Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live.
Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as the double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are crooked, but she knows it not. Keep a path far from her; do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your best strength to others...
At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent. You will say, "How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction!"
May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer– may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.
For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in the summer and gathers it's food at harvest.
How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?…Poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
Keep my commands and you will live…write them on the tablet of your heart.
