9 She will place a garland of grace on your head;she will give you a crown of beauty.”
10 Listen, my son. Accept my words, and you will live many years.
11 I am teaching you the way of wisdom;I am guiding you on straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.
14 Don’t set foot on the path of the wicked; don’t proceed in the way of evil ones.
15 Avoid it; don’t travel on it.Turn away from it, and pass it by.
