to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man:

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Whoso[ is] simple, let him turn in hither:[ as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine[ which] I have mingled.Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed[ thereto] according to thy word.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed[ are they that] keep my ways.

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:And, behold, there met him a woman[ with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.( She[ is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:Now[ is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)So she caught him, and kissed him,[ and] with an impudent face said unto him,[ I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved[ works], with fine linen of Egypt.I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.For the goodman[ is] not at home, he is gone a long journey:He hath taken a bag of money with him,[ and] will come home at the day appointed.With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it[ is] for his life.Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these[ things] God will bring thee into judgment.Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth[ are] vanity.Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

The law of the LORD[ is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD[ is] sure, making wise the simple.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it[ shall be] for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err[ therein].

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
