Proverbs

¹⁰Son, listen to me. Do what I say, and you will live a long time. ¹¹I am teaching you about wisdom and guiding you on the right path. ¹²As you walk on it, you will not step into a trap. Even if you run, you will not trip and fall. ¹³Always remember this teaching. Don’t forget it. It is the key to life, so guard it well. ¹⁴Don’t take the path of the wicked; don’t follow those who do evil. ¹⁵Stay away from that path; don’t even go near it. Turn around and go another way. ¹⁶The wicked cannot sleep until they have done something evil. They will not rest until they bring someone down.
