1
One who fears Yahuah shall do this, and one who takes hold of Torah shall obtain wisdom.
2
She shall meet him like a mother and receive him like an ishah of virginity.
3
She shall feed him bread of understanding and give him water of wisdom to drink.
4
He shall lean upon her and not be bent; he shall rely upon her and not be put to shame.
5
She shall exalt him above those near him, and in the midst of the assembly she shall open his mouth.
6
He shall find gladness and a crown of rejoicing and inherit an enduring name.
7
Adam without understanding shall not obtain her, and sinful men shall not behold her.
8
She is far from pride, and lying men shall not remember her.
9
Praise is not beautiful in the mouth of a sinner, because it was not sent from Yahuah.
10
For praise shall be spoken in wisdom, and Yahuah shall make it prosper.
11
Do not say, “Because of Yahuah I departed,” for He does not work what He hates.
12
Do not say, “He Himself caused me to wander,” for He has no need of a sinful ish.
13
Yahuah hates every abomination, and it is not loved by those who fear Him.
14
He Himself made Adam from the beginning and left him in the hand of his own counsel.
15
If you are willing, you shall guard the Commands and faithfully work what delights Him.
16
He has placed fire and water before you; toward whichever you desire, extend your hand.
17
Before Adam are life and death, and whichever one chooses shall be given to him.
18
For abundant is the wisdom of Yahuah; mighty in dominion, He beholds all things.
19
His eyes are upon those who fear Him, and He knows every work of Adam.
20
He commanded no one to act profanely, and gave no one permission to sin.
