Proverbs 4:18-26

18But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day.

19The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness; they do not know what causes them to stumble.

20My child, pay attention to my words; listen attentively to my sayings.

21Do not let them depart from your sight, guard them within your heart;

22for they are life to those who find them and healing to one’s entire body.

23Guard your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the sources of life.

24Remove perverse speech from your mouth; keep devious talk far from your lips.

25Let your eyes look directly in front of you and let your gaze look straight before you.

26Make the path for your feet level, so that all your ways may be established.
