Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand (of the hunter), And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.
When a wicked man dieth, (his) expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
