15. My son, if your heart is wise,My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;
16. Yes, my inmost being will rejoiceWhen your lips speak right things.
17. Do not let your heart envy sinners,But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;
18. For surely there is a hereafter,And your hope will not be cut off.
19. Hear, my son, and be wise;And guide your heart in the way.
