1 - My son, don't forget my teaching;but let your heart keep my commandments:

10 - so your barns will be filled with plenty,and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 - My son, don't despise The LORD's discipline,neither be weary of his reproof:
12 - for whom the LORD loves, he reproves;even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

21 - My son, let them not depart from your eyes.Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 - so they will be life to your soul,and grace for your neck.
23 - Then you shall walk in your way securely.Your foot won't stumble.
24 - When you lie down, you will not be afraid.Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 - Don't be afraid of sudden fear,neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:
26 - for the LORD will be your confidence,and will keep your foot from being taken.
27 - Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due,when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 - Don't say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again;tomorrow I will give it to you,"when you have it by you.
29 - Don't devise evil against your neighbor,since he dwells securely by you.
30 - Don't strive with a man without cause,if he has done you no harm.
31 - Don't envy the man of violence.Choose none of his ways.
32 - For the perverse is an abomination to The LORD,but his friendship is with the upright.
33 - The LORD's curse is in the house of the wicked,but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 - Surely he mocks the mockers,but he gives grace to the humble.
35 - The wise will inherit glory,but shame will be the promotion of fools.
