Proverbs 4:18-26

18But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

19The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.

20My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.

21Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.

22For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.

23Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

24Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.

25Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.

26Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.
