A Father’s Wise Instruction

1 Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain* insight, 2 for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. 3 When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, 4 he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. 7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. 8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.” 10 Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. 11 I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. 12 When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. 13 Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil. 15 Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. 16 For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. 19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble. 20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their* flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. 24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. 25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. 26 Ponder* the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. 27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.

Beneficios de la sabiduría

1 Oíd, hijos, la instrucción de un padre, Y estad atentos para adquirir entendimiento, 2 Porque os doy buena doctrina; No abandonéis mis enseñanzas, 3 Porque yo fui hijo predilecto de mi padre, Delicado y único delante de mi madre, 4 Y él me enseñaba y me decía: Retenga tu corazón mis palabras, Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás. 5 Adquiere sabiduría, adquiere inteligencia, No te olvides ni te apartes de los dichos de mi boca, 6 No la abandones, y ella te guardará, Ámala, y te preservará. 7 Sabiduría ante todo, adquiere sabiduría, Y sobre toda posesión tuya adquiere inteligencia. 8 Engrandécela, y ella te engrandecerá, Cuando tú la hayas abrazado, ella te honrará. 9 Dará a tu cabeza una guirnalda de gracia, Y te entregará una corona de gloria. 10 Oye, hijo mío, y recibe mis razones, Y se te multiplicarán años de vida. 11 Te he encaminado por el camino de la sabiduría, Y te he hecho andar por sendas de rectitud. 12 En tu caminar no se estrecharán tus pasos, Y si corres, no tropezarás. 13 Aférrate a la corrección, no la abandones, Guárdala, porque ella es tu vida. 14 No entres por el camino del impío, Ni vayas por la senda de los malos. 15 Esquívalo, no pases por él, Desvíate de él, pasa de largo. 16 Porque ellos no duermen si no hacen daño, Y se les quita el sueño si no hacen caer a alguien. 17 Porque comen pan de iniquidad, Y beben vino de violencia. 18 Pero la senda de los justos es como la luz de la aurora, Que va en aumento hasta que el día es perfecto. 19 El camino de los impíos es como la oscuridad: No saben en qué tropiezan. 20 Hijo mío, considera mis palabras, Inclina tu oído a mis razones, 21 No se aparten de tus ojos, Guárdalas en medio de tu corazón. 22 Pues son vida a los que las hallan, Y sanidad a toda su carne. 23 Sobre toda cosa guardada, guarda tu corazón, Porque de él mana la vida. 24 Aparta de ti la boca perversa, Y aleja de ti la falsedad de labios. 25 Tus ojos miren de frente, Y ábranse tus párpados hacia lo que está delante. 26 Examina la senda de tus pies, Y sean rectos todos tus caminos. 27 No te desvíes a diestra ni a siniestra, Aparta tu pie del mal.
