Proverbs 4:10-19 - The Right Path

¹⁰ Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of life shall be multiplied to thee. ¹¹ In the way of wisdom I taught thee; I caused thee to tread in the tracks of uprightness ¹² In thy going, thy steps shall not be pressed; and if thou shalt run thou shalt not be weak. ¹³ Lay hold upon instruction, thou shalt not let go: guard her for she is thy life. ¹⁴ In the path of the unjust thou shalt not go, and thou shalt not advance in the way of the wicked. ¹⁵ Reject it, thou shalt not pass in it; turn aside from it and pass by. ¹⁶ For they slept not, if they shall not do evil; and their sleep was taken away, if they shall not cause to falter. ¹⁷ For they ate the bread of injustice, and they will drink the wine of violences: ¹⁸ The path of the just as the light shining, going and shining even to the day prepared. ¹⁹ The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble.
