    and don’t lean on your own understanding.
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make your paths straight.
⁷ Don’t be wise in your own eyes.
    Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
⁸ It will be health to your body,
    and nourishment to your bones.

¹² There is a way which seems right to a man,
    but in the end it leads to death.

³ Commit your deeds to Yahweh,
    and your plans shall succeed.

²⁰ He who heeds the Word finds prosperity.
    Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.

² A fool has no delight in understanding,
    but only in revealing his own opinion.

⁴ The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters.
    The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.

¹⁰ Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:
    the righteous run to him, and are safe.

³ The foolishness of man subverts his way;
    his heart rages against Yahweh.

²⁴ A man’s steps are from Yahweh;
    how then can man understand his way?

²² A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
    and brings down the strength of its confidence.
