Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance; remember me according to Your mercy, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.

Come, you children, hear me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin offering for their souls; for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil, and cursed God in their minds. Thus, then Job did continually.

For You have written evil things against me, and You have compassed me with the sins of my youth.

that he might give prudence to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding.

[My] son, let not ungodly men lead you astray, neither shall you consent [to them].

Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding.

Hear, [my] son, and receive my words, and the years of your life shall be increased, that the resources of your life may be many.

For when you go, your steps shall not be hindered; and when you run, you shall not be distressed.

Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.

For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.

Now then [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of no effect.

lest you give away your life to others, and your substance to the merciless;

And you repent at last, when the flesh of your body is consumed,

I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I incline my ear.

Drink waters out of your own vessels, and out of your own springing wells.

Let them be yours alone, and let no stranger partake with you.

Let [your] loving deer and your graceful colt company with you, and let her be considered your own, and be with you at all times, for ravished with her love you shall be greatly increased.

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and He looks on all his paths.

Such a man dies with the uninstructed, and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.

[My] son, keep the laws of your father, and do not reject the ordinances of your mother:

Whenever you walk, lead this along and let it be with you, that it may talk with you when you wake.

to keep you continually from a married woman, and from the flattery of a strange tongue.

For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf of bread, and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.

Or will anyone walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet?

It is not to be wondered at if one should be caught stealing, for he steals that when hungry, he may satisfy his soul:

But the adulterer through lack of understanding procures destruction to his soul.

For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

passing by the corner in the passages near her house,

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart blameless, but not in the sight of your eyes: yet know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and folly are vanity.

And remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of evil come, and the years overtake [you] in which you shall say, I have no pleasure in them.

And not many days after, having gathered together all things, the younger son went on a journey to a distant country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

Flee youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

so that they may urge the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

Likewise exhort the young men to be sensible,

I have hidden Your oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

How I have loved Your law, O Lord! It is my meditation all the day.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Your testimonies are my meditation.

I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your words.

How sweet are Your oracles to my taste! More so than honey to my mouth!

Your law is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my paths.

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls; the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.

For Your servant keeps to them; in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.

They were not hid from their children to a second generation; [the fathers] declaring the praises of the Lord, and His mighty acts, and His wonders which He has done.

that another generation might know, even the sons which should be born; and they should arise and declare them to their children.

That they should not be as their fathers, a perverse and provoking generation; a generation which set not its heart aright, and its spirit was not steadfast with God.

And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.

And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immovable before your eyes.

And when he shall be established in his government, then shall he write for himself this repetition of the law into a book by the hands of the priests the Levites;

Be strong, therefore, and very courageous, to observe and do as Moses My servant commanded you; and you shall not turn from there to the right hand or to the left, that you may be wise in whatsoever you may do.

You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

that the man of God may be proficient, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Therefore laying aside all filthiness and abundance of evil, in meekness receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this [one] is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

But the [one] who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues [in it], and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one shall be blessed in what he does.
