17 They eat the bread of unpiety, and drink the wine of wickedness. (They eat evil bread, and drink wicked wine.)
18 But the path of just men goeth forth as light shining (or But the path of the righteous goeth forth like a shining light), and increaseth till to perfect day.
19 The way of wicked men is dark (or The way of the wicked is dark); they know not where, (or when), they shall fall.
20 My son, hearken thou (to) my words; and bow down thine ears to my speeches.
21 Go not they away from thine eyes (or Let them not go away from thine eyes); keep thou them in the middle of thine heart.
22 For those be life to men finding those, and health of all flesh. (For they be life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.)
23 With all (safe) keeping keep thine heart (safe), for life cometh forth of it (or for life cometh forth from it).
