1 Don't forget what I teach you, my child. Always remember what I tell you to do.
2 My teaching will give you a long and prosperous life.
3 Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them round your neck; write them on your heart.
4 If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.
6 Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.
7 Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the Lord and refuse to do wrong.
