10 (A)Hear, (B)my son, and accept my words,
    that (C)the years of your life may be many.
11 I have (D)taught you the way of wisdom;
    I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
12 When you walk, (E)your step will not be hampered,
    and (F)if you run, you will not stumble.
13 (G)Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;
    guard her, for she is your (H)life.
14 (I)Do not enter the path of the wicked,
    and do not walk in the way of the evil.
15 Avoid it; do not go on it;
    turn away from it and pass on.
16 For they (J)cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
    they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness
    (K)and drink the wine of violence.
18 But (L)the path of the righteous is like (M)the light of dawn,
    which shines (N)brighter and brighter until (O)full day.
19 (P)The way of the wicked is like deep (Q)darkness;
    they do not know over what they (R)stumble.
