14 Do not set
foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do
evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone
stumble.
17 They eat the bread of
wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
18 The path of
the righteous is like the morning sun,
shining ever brighter till the full light of
day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep
darkness;
they do not know what makes them
stumble.
20 My
son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your
sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find
them
and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your
heart,
for everything you do flows from
it.
24 Keep your mouth free of
perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your
lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight
ahead;
fix your gaze directly before
you.
26 Give careful thought to the[a] paths
for your feet
and be steadfast in all your
ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the
left;
keep your foot from evil.
