- Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. - Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!
And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. - My child, listen to me and do as I say,
and you will have a long, good life. - I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths. - My child, pay attention to what I say.
Listen carefully to my words.
Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart. - Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life. - Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech. - Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you. - Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path. - Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil.
