Proverbs 4:18-22

18The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.

19But the way of the wicked is like total darkness. They have no idea what they are stumbling over.

20My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.

21Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,

22for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.
