Proverbs 4:18-27

¹⁸But the path of just or rightwise men goeth forth as light shining, and increaseth till to a perfect day.

¹⁹The way of wicked men is dark; they know not where 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; keep thou them in the middle of thine heart.

²²For those be life to men finding those, and health of all flesh.

²³With all keeping keep thine heart, for life cometh forth of it.

²⁴Remove thou a shrewd mouth from thee; and backbiting lips be far from thee.

²⁵Thine eyes see rightful or right things; and thine eyelids go before thy steps.

²⁶Address thou the paths to thy feet, and all thy ways shall be stablished.

²⁷Bow thou not to the right side, neither to the left side; turn away thy foot from evil.
