Proverbs 4:10-19

10ListenH8085, my sonH1121, and receiveH3947 my wordsH561, and the yearsH8141 of your lifeH2416 will be manyH7235.11I will guide youH3384 in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451; I will lead youH1869 on straightH3476 pathsH4570.12When you walkH1980, your stepsH6806 will notH3808 be impededH3334; whenH518 you runH7323, you will notH3808 stumbleH3782.13Hold onH2388 to instructionH4148; do notH408 let goH7503. Guard itH5341, forH3588 itH1931 is your lifeH2416.14Do notH408 set footH935 on the pathH734 of the wickedH7563 or walkH833 in the wayH1870 of evildoersH7451.15Avoid itH6544; do notH408 travelH5674 on it. TurnH7847 from itH5921 and pass on byH5674.16ForH3588 they cannotH3808 sleepH3462 unlessH518H3808 they do evilH7489; they are deprivedH1497 of slumberH8142 untilH518H3808 they make someone fallH3782.17ForH3588 they eatH3898 the breadH3899 of wickednessH7562 and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of violenceH2555.18The pathH734 of the righteousH6662 is like the first gleamH216H215 of dawnH5051, shining brighterH1980 and brighter untilH5704 middayH3559H3117.19But the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 is like the darkest gloomH653; they do notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 makes them stumbleH3782.
