שְׁמַע־אַתָּה בְנִי וַחֲכָם וְאַשֵּׁר בַּדֶּרֶךְ לִבֶּֽךָ
Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thy heart in the way.
אַל־תְּהִי בְסֹֽבְאֵי־יָיִן בְּזֹלֲלֵי בָשָׂר לָֽמוֹ
Be not among winebibbers; Among gluttonous eaters of flesh;
כִּי־סֹבֵא וְזוֹלֵל יִוָּרֵשׁ וּקְרָעִים תַּלְבִּישׁ נוּמָֽה
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
שְׁמַע לְאָבִיךָ זֶה יְלָדֶךָ וְאַל־תָּבוּז כִּֽי־זָקְנָה אִמֶּֽךָ
Hearken unto thy father that begot thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
אֱמֶת קְנֵה וְאַל־תִּמְכֹּר חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר וּבִינָֽה
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
