Proverbs 4:18-26

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

¹⁹The way of sinners is dark; they see not the cause of their fall.

²⁰My son, give attention to my words; let your ear be turned to my sayings.

²¹Let them not go from your eyes; keep them deep in your heart.

²²For they are life to him who gets them, and strength to all his flesh.

²³And keep watch over your heart with all care; so you will have life.

²⁴Put away from you an evil tongue, and let false lips be far from you.

²⁵Keep your eyes on what is in front of you, looking straight before you.

²⁶Keep a watch on your behaviour; let all your ways be rightly ordered.
