In my lips I have pronounced; all the dooms of thy mouth.
I shall not die, but I shall live; and I shall tell the works of the Lord.
My tongue shall pronounce thy speech; for why all thy command-ments be equity.
And I spake of thy witnessings in the sight of kings; and I was not shamed.
For all his dooms be in my sight; and I putted not away from me his rightfulnesses [or rightwisenesses].
Come, ye sons, hear ye me; I shall teach you the dread of the Lord.
The mouth of a just [or rightwise] man shall bethink wisdom; and his tongue shall speak doom.
that thou keep thy thoughts, and thy lips keep teaching.
That thing that I say to you in darknesses, say ye in the light; and preach ye on houses [or upon roofs], that thing that ye hear in the ear.
Ye generation of adders, how may ye speak good things, when ye be evil? For the mouth speaketh of the plenty [or of the great abundance] of the heart.
For we must needs speak those things, that we have seen and heard. [Forsooth we may not not speak the things that we have seen and heard.]
And these words which I command to thee today, shall be in thine heart;
and thou shalt tell those [or them] to thy sons, and thou shalt think upon them, sitting in thine house, and going in the way, lying down, and rising.
