because [if you obey them] you will live a long time and things will go well for you
3 ௩ கிருபையும் சத்தியமும் உன்னைவிட்டு விலகாமல் இருப்பதாக; நீ அவைகளை உன்னுடைய கழுத்திலே கட்டி, அவைகளை உன்னுடைய இருதயமாகிய பலகையில் எழுதிக்கொள்.
Always faithfully love others and (be faithful/do what you say that you will do); doing those things [will cause others to be pleased with you]; it will be as though you are wearing a beautiful necklace. Keep those things in your mind/inner being.
If you do, God and people will approve of you and think highly of you [MTY].

Always allow him to lead you. If you do that, he will (show you the right path/direct your life).

12 ௧௨ தகப்பன் தான் நேசிக்கிற மகனைத் தண்டிக்கிறதுபோல, யெகோவாவும் எவனிடத்தில் அன்பாக இருக்கிறாரோ அவனை தண்டிக்கிறார்.
[I say that] because it is the people whom Yahweh loves that he corrects/reproves, [just] like parents correct/reprove their sons whom they love.
[Yahweh] is pleased with those who become wise and have good understanding.
Being wise and having good understanding is worth more than silver, better than gold.
Being wise is more precious than (jewels/precious stones); there is nothing that you could desire [that would be as valuable] as wisdom.
On the one hand, wisdom [PRS] enables [you] to live a long life, and on the other hand, wisdom enables [you] to become rich and to be honored.
If [you] are wise, [your] life will be pleasant, and things will go well [for you].
Wisdom is [like] a tree that gives long life to those who [eagerly] take hold of it, and [Yahweh] is pleased with those who hold onto it tightly.
By his wisdom Yahweh created the earth, and by his understanding he put everything in the skies.
By his knowledge [he caused] the water that was beneath the earth to burst forth, and he caused rain to fall from the clouds.

My son, [always] keep doing things that are right and things that are smart. If you do that,
you will live [many years] and be honored and respected {people will honor and respect you}.

24 ௨௪ நீ படுக்கும்போது பயப்படாமல் இருப்பாய்; நீ படுத்துக்கொள்ளும்போது உன்னுடைய தூக்கம் இன்பமாக இருக்கும்.
You will [be able to] lie down [at night] and not be afraid [of anything], and you will sleep peacefully.
You will not be afraid that something disastrous will happen to you or that storms that strike the wicked will strike you,
because you will be confident that Yahweh [will take care of you]. He will not let your foot be caught in a trap/snare.

28 ௨௮ உன்னிடத்தில் பொருள் இருக்கும்போது உன்னுடைய அயலானை நோக்கி: நீ போய்த் திரும்பவா, நாளைக்குத் தருவேன் என்று சொல்லாதே.
If you are able to help someone you interact with, do not say, “Come back later; [perhaps] I can help you tomorrow.”
Do not make plans to harm those you interact with regularly, [because] they live near you, and they trust you.
If someone has not harmed you, do not accuse him [by saying that he has harmed you].
Do not envy people who [obtain things by] violent actions, and do not imitate/do what they do.
[I say that] because Yahweh considers such people to be abominable/detestable; but he is a friend to [all] those who do what is right.
