  [1] My son, don't forget my teaching; But let your heart keep my commandments: [2] For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to you.

Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil. [8] It will be health to your body, And nourishment to your bones.

[13] In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest. [14] I, Yahweh, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord Yahweh. [15] Also the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, [16] Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down. [17] Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and don't cover your lips, and don't eat men's bread. [18] So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
