9 She will give a garland for your head; she shall bestow a crown of glory upon you.”
10 Listen, my child, take my sayings, and the years of your life shall be great.
11 In the way of wisdom I have instructed you; I have led you in the path of uprightness.
12 When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.
13 Seize the instruction! Do not let go! Guard her, for she is your life.
14 In the path of the wicked do not go; do not walk in the way of those who do evil.
15 Avoid it; do not transgress it; turn away from it and pass by.
