in order that you may walk in the way of good and keep the paths of the righteous.

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

in order to keep discretion, that your lips may keep knowledge.

that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your labors be in the house of a stranger;

a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
