MKJV(i)
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life shall be many.
11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in the right paths.
12 When you go, your steps shall not be narrowed, and when you run, you shall not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; do not let go; keep her; for she is your life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not into the way of evil.
15 Avoid it; do not pass by it; turn from it, and pass on!
16 For they do not sleep, except when they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, listen to my words; bow down your ear to my sayings.
21 Let them not 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 his flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
