1  ^hMy son, ⁱdo not forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commandments,

2  for ^jlength of days and years of life

and peace they will add to you.

3  You keep him in perfect peace

whose mind is stayed on you,

because he trusts in you.

17  And the effect of righteousness will be peace,

and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust¹ forever.
