• Proverbs 4:1-27

  [1] Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding; [2] For I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law. [3] For I was a son to my father, Tender and an only child in the sight of my mother. [4] He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live. [5] Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth. [6] Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. [7] Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. [8] Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her. [9] She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you." [10] Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many. [11] I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths. [12] When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble. [13] Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. [14] Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way of evil men. [15] Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on. [16] For they don't sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. [17] For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. [18] But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, That shines more and more until the perfect day. [19] The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over. [20] My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. [21] Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. [22] For they are life to those who find them, And health to their whole body. [23] Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it is the wellspring of life. [24] Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you. [25] Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. [26] Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established. [27] Don't turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.
