⁶ For Yahweh gives wisdom.
    Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He lays up sound wisdom for the upright.
    He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
⁸ that he may guard the paths of justice,
    and preserve the way of his saints.

³ Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.
    Bind them around your neck.
    Write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ So you will find favor,
    and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

¹¹ My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline,
    neither be weary of his correction;

²¹ For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes.
    He examines all his paths.
