Proverbs 4:5-27 4:5 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. 4:6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. 4:8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. 4:9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you.” 4:10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. 4:11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. 4:13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life. 4:14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. 4:15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. 4:16 For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. 4:18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. 4:19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. 4:20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 4:21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 4:22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. 4:24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. 4:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. 4:26 Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. 4:27 Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
