Proverbs 4:10-19

10Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of thy life shall be multiplied.

11I will teach thee in the way of wisdom, I will lead thee in paths of uprightness.

12When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

13Take fast hold of instruction, let [her] not go: keep her, for she is thy life.

14Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil [men]:

15avoid it, pass not by it; turn from it, and pass away.

16For they sleep not except they have done mischief, and their sleep is taken away unless they have caused [some] to fall.

17For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

18But the path of the righteous is as the shining light, going on and brightening until the day be fully come.

19The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
