2 What I teach will give you a good, long life, and all will go well for you.
3 Don’t ever let love and loyalty leave you. Tie them around your neck, and write them on your heart.
4 Then God will be pleased and think well of you and so will everyone else.
5 Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge.
6 With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way.
7 Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil.
8 If you do this, it will be like a refreshing drink and medicine for your body.
