Listen, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart on the right course.
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways.
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.
Listen, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life will be many.
Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
Leave your folly behind, and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.”
