Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “it will belong”

Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:

תְּהִ֣י te.Hi “you be”

This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.

תְּהִ֣י te.Hi “may it be”

So they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.

וְיִֽהְי֣וּ (יִֽהְי֣וּ) yih.Yu “they may be”

For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “he will become”

The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.

So that your faith may be in the Lord, I have made them clear to you this day, even to you.

לִהְי֣וֹת (הְי֣וֹת) h.Yot “be”

Be not one of those who give their hands in an agreement, or of those who make themselves responsible for debts:

תְּהִ֥י te.Hi “you be”

Do not be among those who give themselves to wine-drinking, or among those who make themselves full with meat:

תְּהִ֥י te.Hi “you be”

Yes, you will be like him who takes his rest on the sea, or on the top of a sail-support.

וְ֭הָיִיתָ (הָיִיתָ) ha.yi.ta “you will be”

Have no envy for evil men, or any desire to be with them:

For there will be no future for the evil man; the light of sinners will be put out.

תִהְיֶ֣ה tih.Yeh “it will belong”

Do not be a violent witness against your neighbour, or let your lips say what is false.

תְּהִ֣י te.Hi “you be”
