Proverbs 4:10-19 - The Right Path

¹⁰ Hear, my son, and receive my words, that the years of thy life may be many. ¹¹ I will show thee the way of wisdom, and lead thee in the right paths. ¹² So that if thou goest therein, there shall no straitness hinder thee: and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall. ¹³ Take fast hold of doctrine, let her not go: keep her, for she is thy life. ¹⁴ Come not in the path of the ungodly, and walk not in the way of the wicked. ¹⁵ Eschew it, and go not therein: depart aside, and pass over by it. ¹⁶ For they cannot sleep, except they have first done some mischief: neither take they any rest, except they have first done some harm. ¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of robbery. ¹⁸ The path of the righteous shineth as the light, and is ever brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. ¹⁹ But the way of the ungodly is as the darkness, wherein men fall, or they be aware.
