1 My child, do not forget my teaching,but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for they will provide a long and full life,and they will add well-being to you.
3 Do not let truth and mercy leave you;bind them around your neck,write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will find favor and good understanding,in the sight of God and people.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and do not rely on your own understanding.
6 Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.
