Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path:

My son, listen and be wise. Set your heart on the right path.

Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way.

My child, listen and be wise: Keep your heart on the right course.

Listen, my son, and be wise; keep your mind on the right course.

Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way.

Hear, my son, and be wise; And guide your heart in the way.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thy heart in the way.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

Listen, my child, and be wise, and guide your heart on the right way.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!

Listen, my son. Accept my words, and you will live many years.I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths.When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble.Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.Don’t set foot on the path of the wicked; don’t proceed in the way of evil ones.Avoid it; don’t travel on it. Turn away from it, and pass it by.For they can’t sleep unless they have done what is evil; they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom; they don’t know what makes them stumble.My son, pay attention to my words; listen closely to my sayings.Don’t lose sight of them; keep them within your heart.For they are life to those who find them, and health to one’s whole body.Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

Apply yourself to discipline and listen to words of knowledge.

Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.

Leave inexperience behind, and you will live; pursue the way of understanding.
