10. Listen to me, my child. Take seriously what I am telling you, and you will live a long life.
11. I have taught you wisdom and the right way to live.
12. Nothing will stand in your way if you walk wisely, and you will not stumble when you run.
13. Always remember what you have learnt. Your education is your life — guard it well.
14. Do not go where evil people go. Do not follow the example of the wicked.
15. Don't do it! Keep away from evil! Refuse it and go on your way.
16. Wicked people cannot sleep unless they have done something wrong. They lie awake unless they have hurt someone.
17. Wickedness and violence are like food and drink to them.
18. The road the righteous travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight has come.
19. The road of the wicked, however, is dark as night. They fall, but cannot see what they have stumbled over.
20. Pay attention to what I say, my child. Listen to my words.
21. Never let them get away from you. Remember them and keep them in your heart.
