My son, do not walk in the way with them.
Keep your feet from their path,

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;

So you will walk in the way of good men
And keep to the paths of the righteous.

Then you will walk in your way securely
And your foot will not stumble.

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded;
And if you run, you will not stumble.

When you walk about, they will guide you;
When you sleep, they will watch over you;
And when you awake, they will talk to you.

Or can a man walk on hot coals
And his feet not be scorched?

“I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,

The perverse in heart are an abomination to the Lord,
But the blameless in their walk are His delight.

There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
