- Hear, my son, and accept my sayings And the years of your life will be many.
- I have directed you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in upright paths.
- When you walk, your steps will not be impeded; And if you run, you will not stumble.
- Take hold of instruction; do not let go Guard her, for she is your life.
- Do not enter the path of the wicked And do not proceed in the way of evil men.
|
- Avoid it, do not pass by it; Turn away from it and pass on.
- For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
- For they eat the bread of wickedness And drink the wine of violence.
- But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
- The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble.
