There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword;\par\tab But the tongue of the wise is health.
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;\par\tab And the years of thy life shall be many.
It will be health to thy navel,\par\tab And marrow to thy bones.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth.
And he taught me, and said unto me:\par\tab Let thy heart retain my words;\par\tab Keep my commandments, and live;
So shall they be life unto thy soul,\par\tab And grace to thy neck.
For whoso findeth me findeth life,\par\tab And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.
Pleasant words are {\i as} a honeycomb,\par\tab Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
