When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her; for she [is] thy life.
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil [men].
Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause [some] to fall.
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
