Guidance for the Young
My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands;
-
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,
-
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
-
He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live.
-
Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;
-
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
-
And say: “How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction!
-
Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.
-
A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
-
Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
-
Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
-
Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
-
And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
-
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;
-
O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
-
The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.
-
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.
-
Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord, But the blameless in their ways are His delight.
-
He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
-
A man will be commended according to his wisdom, But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.
-
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.
-
A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
-
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.
