9 She will put on your head a graceful diadem;a glorious crown will she bestow on you.”
10 Hear, my son, and receive my words,and the years of your life shall be many.
11 On the way of wisdom I direct you,I lead you on straight paths.
12 When you walk, your step will not be impeded,and should you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold fast to instruction, never let it go;keep it, for it is your life.
14 The path of the wicked do not enter,nor walk in the way of the evil;
15 Shun it, do not cross it,turn aside from it, pass on.
