1. No preacher admonishes the wise man
More effectively than his own soul

2. The wise man may cite examples
From his tomorrow and his yesterday

3. That benefit the people of perception
From the furthest and the nearest of men

4. An old man may consult his sons
And gain wisdom from his bride

5. Wisdom is apportioned, so do not neglect
To seek knowledge or grasp it

6. And ask, for your questioning of
The scholar may dispel your blindness
