11 Je te montre la voie de la sagesse, Je te conduis dans les sentiers de la droiture.
12 Si tu marches, ton pas ne sera point gêné; Et si tu cours, tu ne chancelleras point.
13 Retiens l’instruction, ne t’en dessaisis pas; Garde-la, car elle est ta vie.
14 N’entre pas dans le sentier des méchants, Et ne marche pas dans la voie des hommes mauvais.
15 Évite-la, n’y passe point; Détourne-t’en, et passe outre.
