Listen to me, guard your heart; it's a wellspring of life,
Put away perversity from your mouth and keep corrupt talk far from your lips,
Listen to me, the way of the immoral leads to death,
Don't follow the lust of your eyes; destruction comes sudden on the evil path.
Wisdom is better than chosen gold,
Knowledge from Heaven gives a fruit hundredfold,
Don't let your feet walk the wicked way,
Let your heart be corrected and you won't go astray.
Listen to me, righteousness exalts a whole nation, but sin is a disgrace to a people,
When the good rule, it brings understanding,
Listen to me, the generous man will prosper; giving is a secret for wealth,
Riches belong to the king and his people.
Learning the hard way is a waste of time,
Accept words of wisdom and your heart won't be blind,
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
But the righteous, forever, will stand firm and strong,
Standing strong, whoa.
Wisdom is better than chosen gold,
Knowledge from Heaven gives a fruit hundredfold,
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
But the righteous, forever, will stand firm and strong,
Standing strong, whoa.
