Proverbs 4:10-19

10HearH8085, O my sonH1121, and receiveH3947 my sayingsH561; and the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH2416 shall be manyH7235.

11I have taughtH3384 thee in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451; I have ledH1869 thee in pathsH4570 of uprightnessH3476.

12When thou goest, thy stepsH6806 shall notH3808 be straitened; and ifH518 thou runnest, thou shalt notH3808 stumbleH3782.

13TakeH2388 fastH2388 holdH2388 of instructionH4148; letH7503 herH3588 notH408 goH7503: keepH5341 herH3588; for sheH1931 is thy lifeH2416.

14EnterH935 notH408 intoH935 the pathH734 of the wickedH7563, and walkH1870 notH408 in the wayH1870 of evilH7451 menH7563.

15AvoidH6544 it, passH5674 notH408 by it; turnH7847 from it, and passH5674 on.

16For they sleepH8142 notH3808, exceptH518 they have done mischief; and their sleepH8142 is takenH1497 awayH1497, unlessH518 they cause some to fallH3782.

17For they eatH3898 the breadH3899 of wickednessH7562, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of violenceH2555.

18But the pathH734 of the righteousH6662 is as the shiningH216 lightH216, that shineth more and more unto the perfect dayH3117.

19The wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 is as darknessH653: they knowH3045 notH3808 at whatH4100 they stumbleH3782.
