Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.
If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.
To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion—
