Proverbs 4:17-23

¹⁷They eat the bread of unpiety, and drink the wine of wickedness. (They eat evil bread, and drink wicked wine.)

¹⁸But 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.

¹⁹The way of wicked men is dark (or The way of the wicked is dark); they know not where, (or when), they shall fall.

²⁰My son, hearken thou (to) my words; and bow down thine ears to my speeches.

²¹Go not they away from thine eyes (or Let them not go away from thine eyes); keep thou them in the middle of thine heart.

²²For 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.)

²³With all (safe) keeping keep thine heart (safe), for life cometh forth of it (or for life cometh forth from it).
