| 1 | My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart guard my precepts. | My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, | My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, | |
| 2 | For they shall set before you length of days, and years of life, and peace. | for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. | for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. | |
| 3 | Let not mercy and truth abandon you: encircle them around your throat, and inscribe them on the tablets of your heart. | Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. | Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. | |
| 4 | And so shall you discover grace and good discipline, in the sight of God and men. | So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. | Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. | |
| 5 | Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. | Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. | Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; | |
| 6 | In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps. | In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. | in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. | |
| 7 | Do not seem wise to yourself. Fear God, and withdraw from evil. | Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. | Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. | |
| 8 | Certainly, it shall be health to your navel, and refreshment to your bones. | It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. | This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. | |
| 9 | Honor the Lord with your substance, and give to him from the first of all your fruits, | Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; | Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; | |
| 10 | and then your storehouses will be filled with abundance, and your presses shall overflow with wine. | then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. | then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. | |
| 11 | My son, do not discard the discipline of the Lord, and do not fall away when you are corrected by him. | My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, | My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, | |
| 12 | For whomever the Lord loves, he corrects, and just as a father does with a son, he wins him over. | for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. | because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. | |
