11 Come, children, listen closely; I'll give you a lesson in God worship.
11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who out there has a lust for life? Can't wait each day to come upon beauty?
12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
13 Guard your tongue from profanity, and no more lying through your teeth.
13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn your back on sin; do something good. Embrace peace - don't let it get away!
14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
