My son, eat honey, because it is good,
And the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

Know that [skillful and godly] wisdom is [so very good] for your life and soul;
If you find wisdom, then there will be a future and a reward,
And your hope and expectation will not be cut off.

For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.^(A)

For there will be no future for the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

My son, fear the Lord and the king;
And do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary],

For their tragedy will rise suddenly,
And who knows the punishment that both [the Lord and the king] will bring on the rebellious?
