- Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
- I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
- When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
- Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
- Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
|
- Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.
- I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.
- When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.
- Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.
- Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men.
|
- Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
- For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
- For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
- But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
- The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
|
- Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.
- For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall.
- They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
- The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
- But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.
