10. My child, listen to me and do as I say,and you will have a long, good life.
11. I will teach you wisdom’s waysand lead you in straight paths.
12. When you walk, you won’t be held back;when you run, you won’t stumble.
13. Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.Guard them, for they are the key to life.
14. Don’t do as the wicked do,and don’t follow the path of evildoers.
15. Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way.Turn away and keep moving.
16. For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day.They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.
