14 Whoever fears the Lordwill accept instruction;those who rise earlywill find approval.
15 Whoever seeks the Lawwill be filled with it,but the hypocrite will stumble over it.
16 Those who fear the Lordwill discover his decree,and they will kindle righteous deedslike a lamp.
17 Sinful people turn away from correction;they will look for a judgmentthat suits them.
18 A well-advised personwon’t overlook an intelligent thought;the stranger and the arrogantwon’t cower out of fear.
19 Do nothing without deliberation,and when you have acted,don’t feel regret.
20 Don’t walk on a hazardous path,and don’t stumble on stony ground.
