| 2 | For I give you sound learning; Do not forsake my instruction. | for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. | I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. | |
| 3 | When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son before my mother, | When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, | For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother. | |
| 4 | Then he instructed me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments and live; | he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. | Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. | |
| 5 | Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget and do not turn away from the sayings of my mouth. | Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. | Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. | |
