²⁰ My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.

¹³ He who ^(A)despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

²⁰ He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever ^(A)trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

^5 (A)Every word of God is ^[a]pure;
^(B)He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
^6 (C)Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
