Proverbs 4:10-19

10HearH8085, O my sonH1121, and receiveH3947 my sayings;And the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH2416 shall be manyH7235.11I have taughtH3384 thee in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451;I have ledH1869 thee in paths of uprightnessH3476.12When thou goest, thy stepsH6806 shall not be straitened;And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumbleH3782.13TakeH2388 fast holdH2388 of instruction; let her not goH7503:KeepH5341 her; for she is thy lifeH2416.14Enter not into the pathH734 of the wickedH7563,And walk not in the wayH1870 of evilH7451 men.15Avoid it, passH5674 not by it;TurnH7847 from it, and passH5674 on.16For they sleepH8142 not, except they do evilH7489;And their sleepH8142 is taken awayH1497, unless they cause some to fall.17For they eatH3898 the breadH3899 of wickednessH7562,And drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of violenceH2555.18But the pathH734 of the righteousH6662 is as the dawning lightH216,That shineth more and more unto the perfect dayH3117.19The wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 is as darknessH653:They knowH3045 not at what they stumbleH3782.
