9 It will be like flowers in your hairand like a beautiful crown on your head.”
10 My child, listen and accept what I say.Then you will have a long life.
11 I am guiding you in the way of wisdom,and I am leading you on the right path.
12 Nothing will hold you back;you will not be overwhelmed.
13 Always remember what you have been taught,and don’t let go of it.Keep all that you have learned;it is the most important thing in life.
14 Don’t follow the ways of the wicked;don’t do what evil people do.
15 Avoid their ways, and don’t follow them.Stay away from them and keep on going,
