9 She will set a beautiful crown on your head. She will give you a glorious crown."
10 My son, listen. Accept what I say. Then you will live for many years.
11 I guide you in the way of wisdom. I lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, nothing will slow you down. When you run, you won't trip and fall.
13 Hold on to my teaching. Don't let it go. Guard it well. It is your life.
14 Don't take the path of evil people. Don't live the way sinners do.
15 Stay away from their path. Don't travel on it. Turn away from it. Go on your way.
