1 My son, forget thou not my law; and thine heart keep my commandments.
2 For they shall set to thee the length of days, and the years of life, and peace.
3 Mercy and truth forsake thee not; bind thou those to thy throat, and write them in the tables of thine heart. (Let not mercy and truth desert thee; bind thou them about thy neck, and write them on the tablets of thy heart.)
4 And thou shalt find grace (or And thou shalt receive favour), and good teaching before God and men.
