MLV(i)
10 Hear, O my son and receive my sayings and the years of your life will be many.
11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in paths of uprightness.
12 When you go, your steps will not be restricted. And if you run, you will not stumble.
13 Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, because she is your life.
14 Do not enter into the path of the wicked and do not advance in the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it. Do not pass by it. Turn from it and pass on.
16 Because they do not sleep unless they do evil. And their sleep is taken away unless they cause you to fall. 17 Because they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness. They do not know at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words. Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. 22 Because they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, because out of it are the things of life.
