  • Prov 4:10-23 : 10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; and when you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction; do not let her go: keep her; for she is your life. 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it, do not pass by it, turn from it, and pass away. 16 For they do not sleep unless they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the just is like the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness: they do not know at what they stumble. 20 My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
