32
“Now therefore, O sons, (A)listen to me,
For (B)blessed are they who keep my ways.
33
(C)Heed instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34
(D)Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
35
“For (E)he who finds me finds life
And (F)obtains favor from the Lord.
36
“But he who (a)sins against me (G)injures himself;
All those who (H)hate me (I)love death.”
