Proverbs 4:18-26

18The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

19But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom; they don’t know what makes them stumble.

20My son, pay attention to my words; listen closely to my sayings.

21Don’t lose sight of them; keep them within your heart.

22For they are life to those who find them, and health to one’s whole body.

23Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

24Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly, and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

25Let your eyes look forward; fix your gaze straight ahead.

26Carefully consider the path for your feet, and all your ways will be established.
