32. Now therefore listen to me, O you sons; for blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who keep my ways. [Ps. 119:1, 2; 128:1, 2; Luke 11:28.]
33. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not refuse or neglect it.
34. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35. For whoever finds me [Wisdom] finds life and draws forth and obtains favor from the Lord.
36. But he who misses me or sins against me wrongs and injures himself; all who hate me love and court death.
