12 Venez, mes fils, écoutez-moi! Je vous enseignerai la crainte de l’Éternel.

13 Quel est l’homme qui aime la vie, Qui désire la prolonger pour jouir du bonheur?

15 Éloigne-toi du mal, et fais le bien; Recherche et poursuis la paix.

16 Les yeux de l’Éternel sont sur les justes, Et ses oreilles sont attentives à leurs cris.
