Proverbs 4:10-19 - The Right Path

¹⁰ Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and they will multiply to thee the years of life. ¹¹ In the way of wisdom, have I taught thee, I have guided thee in tracks of uprightness. ¹² When thou walkest, thy step shall not be hemmed in, and, if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. ¹³ Take fast hold of correction, let her not go, - keep her, for, she, is thy life. ¹⁴ Upon the path of the lawless, do not thou enter, and do not advance in the way of the wicked: ¹⁵ Avoid it, do not pass thereon - turn from it, and depart. ¹⁶ For they sleep not, unless they can do mischief, - They rob themselves of their sleep, if they cannot cause someone to stumble, ¹⁷ For they consume bread gotten by lawlessness, and, wine obtained by violence, they drink. ¹⁸ But, the path of the righteous, is as the light of dawn, - going on and brightening, unto meridian day. ¹⁹ The way of the lawless, is like darkness, they know not, at what they stumble.
