1
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;
2
for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you.
3
Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4
So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man.
5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.
6
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
