My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
