My son, listen. Accept what I say. Then you will live for many years.I instruct you in the way of wisdom. I lead you along straight paths.When you walk, nothing will slow you down. When you run, you won’t trip and fall.Hold on to my teaching and don’t let it go. Guard it well, because it is your life.Don’t take the path of evil people. Don’t live the way sinners do.Stay away from their path and don’t travel on it. Turn away from it and go on your way.Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil. They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.They do evil just as easily as they eat food. They hurt others as easily as they drink wine.The path of those who do right is like the sun in the morning. It shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.But the way of those who do what is wrong is like deep darkness. They don’t know what makes them trip and fall.My son, pay attention to what I say. Listen closely to my words.Don’t let them out of your sight. Keep them in your heart.They are life to those who find them. They are health to a person’s whole body.Above everything else, guard your heart. Everything you do comes from it.

My son, give me your heart. May you be happy living the way you see me live.

Apply your heart to what you are taught. Listen carefully to words of knowledge.

You people who don’t want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise!

Leave your childish ways and you will live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
