¹ HE that fears Yahuah will do good, and he that has the knowledge of the Torah shall obtain her.

² And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a woman married of a virgin.

³ With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink.

⁴ He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.

⁵ She shall exalt him above his neighbors, and in the midst of the assembly shall she open his mouth.

⁶ He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.

⁷ But foolish men shall not attain unto her, and sinners shall not see her.

⁸ For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her.

⁹ Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of Yahuah.

¹⁰ For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and Yahuah will prosper it.

¹¹ Say not, It is through Yahuah that I fell away: for you ought not to do the things that he hates.

¹² Say not, He has caused me to err: for he has no need of the sinful man.

¹³ Yahuah hates all abomination; and they that fear Elohiym love it not.

¹⁴ He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel;

¹⁵ If you will, to guard the commandments, and to perform acceptable faithfulness.

¹⁶ He has set fire and water before you: stretch forth your hand unto whether you will.

¹⁷ Before man is life and death; and whether him likes shall be given him.

¹⁸ For the wisdom of Yahuah is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholds all things:

¹⁹ And his eyes are upon them that fear him, and he knows every work of man.

²⁰ He has commanded no man to do wickedly, neither has he given any man licence to sin.
