Proverbs 4:10-19
My son, listen. Accept what I say.
Then you will live for many years.
I instruct you in the way of wisdom.
I lead you along straight paths.
When you walk, nothing will slow you down.
When you run, you won’t trip and fall.
Hold on to my teaching and don’t let it go.
Guard it well, because it is your life.
Don’t take the path of evil people.
Don’t live the way sinners do.
Stay away from their path and don’t travel on it.
Turn away from it and go on your way.
Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil.
They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.
They do evil just as easily as they eat food.
They hurt others as easily as they drink wine.
The path of those who do right is like the sun in the morning.
It shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.
But the way of those who do what is wrong is like deep darkness.
They don’t know what makes them trip and fall.
