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.

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

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 what I say, and the years of your life will be many.I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (niv)

My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways, (niv)

Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. (niv)

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! (niv)

Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.” (niv)
