The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
“Is there not a time of hard service for man on earth?
Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?

Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.

Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,
And the years of your life will be many.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.
Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
I loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
Let me alone,
For my days are but a breath.
For we were born yesterday, and know nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.
“Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.
Are Your days like the days of a mortal man?
Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,
Are not my days few?
Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,
Wisdom is with aged men,
And with length of days, understanding.
Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
Look away from him that he may rest,
Till like a hired man he finishes his day.
The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,
And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.
They spend their days in wealth,
And in a moment go down to the grave.

Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.

If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait,
Till my change comes.

Lest you give your honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
