- My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
- Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart.
- For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body.
- Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
- Put away from you a deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you.

- わが 子よ, わたしの 言葉に 耳を 傾けよ. わたしの 言うことに 耳を 向けよ.
- 見失うことなく, 心に 納めて 守れ.
- それらに 到達する 者にとって, それは 命となり /全身を 健康にする.
- 何を 守るよりも, 自分の 心を 守れ. そこに 命の 源がある.
- 曲がった 言葉をあなたの 口から 退け /ひねくれた 言葉を 唇から 遠ざけよ.
