18 aBut the path of the just
bis like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
19 aThe way of the wicked
is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble.
20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they
are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it
spring the issues of
alife.
24 Put away from you a
1 deceitful mouth,
And put perverse lips far from you.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.
26 Ponder the path of your
afeet,
And let all your ways be established.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil.
