10. Hear, O my son, and receive my words, that years of life may be multiplied to thee.
11. I will shew thee the way of wisdom, I will lead thee by the paths of equity:
12. Which when thou shalt have entered, thy steps shall not be straitened, and when thou runnest thou shalt not meet a stumblingblock.
13. Take hold on instruction, leave it not: keep it, because it is thy life.
14. Be not delighted in the paths of the wicked, neither let the way of evil men please thee.
