Proverbs 4:10-19 - The Right Path

¹⁰ Listen to me, my son. Accept what I tell you and live a long life. ¹¹ I taught you wisdom and the right way to live. ¹² Walk with wisdom and nothing will stand in your way. Run with wisdom and you will not stumble. ¹³ Take firm hold of instruction and do not let go. Obey her for she is your life. ¹⁴ Do not enter the path of the wicked. Do not walk in the way of evil men. ¹⁵ Avoid it! Do not pass by it. Turn away from it, and pass on! ¹⁶ They do not sleep unless they have done evil. Their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. ¹⁷ They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. ¹⁸ The path of the righteous is like the shining light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the more perfect day. ¹⁹ The way of the wicked is like darkness. They do not know what makes them stumble.
