Proverbs 4:13-18

¹³Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life.

¹⁴Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.

¹⁵Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.

¹⁶For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.

¹⁷The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink.

¹⁸But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.
