Proverbs 4:10-15

10Listen, my son. Accept my words, and you will live many years.

11I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths.

12When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble.

13Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

14Keep off the path of the wicked; don’t proceed on the way of evil ones.

15Avoid it; don’t travel on it. Turn away from it, and pass it by.
