The Right Path

• 10 Listen, my child, take my sayings, and the years of your life shall be great.
• 11 In the way of wisdom I have instructed you; I have led you in the path of uprightness.
• 12 When you walk ,[fn] your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.
• 13 Seize the instruction! Do not let go! Guard her, for she is your life.
• 14 In the path of the wicked do not go; do not walk in the way of those who do evil.
• 15 Avoid it; do not transgress it; turn away from it and pass by.
• 16 For they will not sleep if they have not done wrong, and they are robbed of their sleep if they do not cause stumbling.
• 17 For they ate the bread of wickedness, and they drank the wine of violence.
• 18 But the path of the righteous ones is like the light of dawn, leading and shining until the day is full .[fn]
• 19 The way of the wicked ones is like deep darkness; they do not know what they stumble over.
