# pay attention to my words

"listen carefully to what I teach you"

# you will have many years in your life

"you will live many years"

# I direct you in the way of wisdom; I lead you down straight paths

The writer speaks of teaching his son to live wisely as if he were leading his son along the paths where one may find wisdom. AT: "I am teaching you how to live wisely; I am explaining the right way to live" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# When you walk, no one will stand in your way and if you run, you will not stumble
