Wisdom with an inheritance,
An advantage to those who see;
Having spiritual adherence,
When you have been transgression free.

For having protection of wisdom,
Like the protection of money;
With the knowledge of the Kingdom,
In the land of milk and honey.

Considering the work of God,
Who can make straight what is crooked;
Can purify what has been flawed,
By forgiving the ill-fated.

In the day of prosperity,
Consider by being joyful;
And the day of adversity,
The Lord sees who remains faithful.

In my vain life I have seen when,
A righteous man who perishes;
A wicked man prolongs life then,
In the evil he cherishes.

Never be overly righteous,
Never making yourself too wise;
Causing some to be contentious,
Because the fact they close their eyes.

Never be overly wicked,
Neither trying to be a fool;
Which causes you to be pitted,
And falling into the dead pool.

It is good that you should take hold,
From that withheld not in your hand;
One who fears God that would unfold,
As to what His Word would demand.

Wisdom gives strength unto the wise man,
More than rulers of a city;
Of their council that has no plan,
For a crisis taking pity.

For there is not a righteous man,
Who would do good and never sin;
Only with the Lord that one can,
Without rationale that has been.

Do not take to heart of all things,
Lest hearing people cursing you;
For the consequences that brings,
Of the wicked thoughts that construe.
