33 (A)Listen to instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34 (B)Blessed is the person who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
35 For (C)one who finds me finds life,
And (D)obtains favor from the Lord.
36 But one who [a]sins against me (E)injures himself;
All those who (F)hate me (G)love death.”
