1 He who reveres 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall do good,
And he who has the knowledge of the Law shall obtain her.
2 And as a mother she shall meet him,
And receive him as a wife married in maidenhood.
3 With the bread of understanding she shall feed him,
And give him the water of wisdom to drink.
4 He shall be visited by her, and shall not be moved;
And shall rely on her, and shall not be ashamed.
5 She shall exalt him above his neighbours,
And she shall open his mouth in the midst of the assembly.
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 obtain 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 fitting for the mouth of a sinner,
For it was not sent to him by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
10 For praise shall be uttered in wisdom,
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall make it prosper.
11 Do not say, “It is because of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 that I fell away.”
For you ought not to do that which He hates.
12 Do not say, “He has caused me to stray.”
For He has no need of the sinful man.
13 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hates all abomination;
And those who revere Elohim do not love it.
14 He Himself made man from the beginning,
And left him in the hand of his own counsel;
15 So you shall guard the Commands,
And act trustworthily.
16 He has put fire and water before you;
Stretch out your hand to which you choose.
17 Ḥai and death is before man;
And what he chooses shall be given him.
18 For the wisdom of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is great,
And He is mighty in power, and sees all.
19 And His eyes are upon those who revere Him,
And He knows every work of man.
20 He has commanded no man to do wickedly,
Neither has He given any man permission to sin.
