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 ways and 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. ¹⁷ They eat the food of wickedness and drink the wine of violence! ¹⁸ The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. ¹⁹ But the way of the wicked is like total darkness. They have no idea what they are stumbling over.
