¹⁰ Listen, my son,^(B) accept what I say,
    and the years of your life will be many.^(C)
11 I instruct^(D) you in the way of wisdom
    and lead you along straight paths.^(E)
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
    when you run, you will not stumble.^(F)

    guard it well, for it is your life.^(G)
