Proverbs 4:11-18
11I have 1directed you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in upright paths.12When you walk, your 2steps will not be impeded; And if you run, you 3will not stumble.134Take hold of instruction; do not let go. Guard her, for she is your 5life.146Do not enter the path of the wicked And do not proceed in the way of evil men.15Avoid it, do not pass by it; Turn away from it and pass on.16For they 7cannot sleep unless they do evil; And 8they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.17For they 9eat the bread of wickedness And drink the wine of violence.18But the 10path of the righteous is like the 11light of dawn, That 12shines brighter and brighter until the 13full day.
