Now therefore listen to me, O you children: for blessed are those who keep my ways.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame of it with our ears.
Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that keeps her.
Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Listen to me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.
