- 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, 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.
