## And now ##

This is to focus the attention of the students to the conclusion of this lesson.

## my sons ##

AT: "my children" or "my students"

## listen to me ##

This is still wisdom talking about herself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

## those who keep my ways ##

AT: "those who do what I teach" or "the people who follow my example"

## neglect ##

"disregard" AT: "pay no attention to" or "do not follow"

## The one who ##

"The person who" or "He who"

## watching every day at my gates; waiting for me beside the doors of my home ##

These two phrases basically mean the same thing. Wisdom is described as having a home; possible meanings of "watching" are 1) a wise person waits for wisdom to come home to learn more 2) a wise person is at wisdom's house to be close to her and learn all the time.
