Olam 2

For they <i>are</i> life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it <i>are</i> the issues of life.

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, <i>and</i> bow thine ear to my understanding:

That thou mayest regard discretion, and <i>that</i> thy lips may keep knowledge.

For the lips of a strange woman drop <i>as</i> an honeycomb, and her mouth <i>is</i> smoother than oil:

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
