Third Address to a Son:
Wisdom Leads to the Lord’s Blessing

My son, do not forget my teaching.
Let your heart keep my commands,
because they will add long days and many years to your life,
and peace and prosperity[a] will come to you.
Do not allow mercy and truth to leave you.
Fasten them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
