- The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
- To know wisdom, and instruction:
- To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity:
- To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding.
- A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.
- He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.
- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

- My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.
- If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause:
- Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit.
- We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils.
- Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse.
- My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths.
- For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
- But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings.
- And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.
- So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors.
- Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets:
