who spoke and instructed me, [saying], Let our speech be fixed in your heart, keep our commandments, forget them not:

Behold, I have shown you the statutes and judgments as the Lord has commanded me, that you should do so in the land into which you go, to inherit it.

Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth and with all your heart, for you see what great things He has done for you.

And because the Preacher was wise above [others, so it was] that he taught men excellent knowledge, and the ear will trace out the parables.

Listen to me, for I will speak solemn [truths]; and I will produce right [sayings] from my lips.

They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.

I walk in ways of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment;

He has restored my soul; He has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for His name's sake.

Show me Your ways, O Lord; and teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are God my Savior; and I have waited on You all the day.

[he] said, "O full of all guile and all craft, [you] son of [the] devil, [you] enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
