| 7 | The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. | Advice to young men. Pr.1.7-19 | יִרְאַת יְהוָה רֵאשִׁית דָּעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר אֱוִילִים בָּזוּ׃ ף |
| 8 | Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and reject not your mother's teaching; | שְׁמַע בְּנִי מוּסַר אָבִיךָ וְאַל־תִּטֹּשׁ תֹּורַת אִמֶּךָ׃ | |
| 9 | for they are a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck. | כִּי לִוְיַת חֵן הֵם לְרֹאשֶׁךָ וַעֲנָקִים לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶיךָ׃ | |
| 10 | My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. | בְּנִי אִם־יְפַתּוּךָ חַטָּאִים אַל־תֹּבֵא׃ | |
| 11 | If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us wantonly ambush the innocent; | אִם־יֹאמְרוּ לְכָה אִתָּנוּ נֶאֶרְבָה לְדָם נִצְפְּנָה לְנָקִי חִנָּם׃ | |
| 12 | like Sheol let us swallow them alive and whole, like those who go down to the Pit; | נִבְלָעֵם כִּשְׁאֹול חַיִּים וּתְמִימִים כְּיֹורְדֵי בֹור׃ | |
| 13 | we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with spoil; | כָּל־הֹון יָקָר נִמְצָא נְמַלֵּא בָתֵּינוּ שָׁלָל׃ | |
| 14 | throw in your lot among us, we will all have one purse" - | גֹּורָלְךָ תַּפִּיל בְּתֹוכֵנוּ כִּיס אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּנוּ׃ | |
| 15 | my son, do not walk in the way with them, hold back your foot from their paths; | בְּנִי אַל־תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אִתָּם מְנַע רַגְלְךָ מִנְּתִיבָתָם׃ | |
| 16 | for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. | כִּי רַגְלֵיהֶם לָרַע יָרוּצוּ וִימַהֲרוּ לִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּם׃ | |
| 17 | For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird; | כִּי־חִנָּם מְזֹרָה הָרָשֶׁת בְּעֵינֵי כָל־בַּעַל כָּנָף׃ | |
| 18 | but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they set an ambush for their own lives. | וְהֵם לְדָםָם יֶאֱרֹבוּ יִצְפְּנוּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָם׃ | |
| 19 | Such are the ways of all who get gain by violence; it takes away the life of its possessors. | כֵּן אָרְחֹות כָּל־בֹּצֵעַ בָּצַע אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ בְּעָלָיו יִקָּח׃ ף | |
