Proverbs 4:10-15

10Listen, my son, and accept my words, so the years of your life will be many.

11I instructed you in the way of wisdom. I have guided you along straight paths.

12When you walk, your step will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

13Hold on tightly to instruction, do not let it go— guard it, for it is your life.

14Do not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil people.

15Avoid it—do not travel on it— turn away from it and pass by.
