My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
Dishonest money dwindles away,
but he who gathers money little
by little makes it grow.
Search me, O El, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious
thought.
See if there is any offensive way in me;
and lead me in the way everlasting.
