Proverbs 4:10-17

Thomson(i) 10 Hear my son and receive my words; that, when the years of thy life shall be multiplied, thou mayst have many ways of livelihood: 11 for I am teaching thee ways of wisdom; and confirming thee in right paths. 12 For when thou goest, thy steps will not be straitened: and when thou runnest thou shalt not be tired. 13 Take fast hold of mine instruction, let it not go: but keep it for thyself during thy life. 14 Go not in the ways of wicked men; nor be fond of the ways of transgressors. 15 In what place soever they encamp, go not thither: but turn away from them and keep at a distance: 16 for they cannot sleep. Unless they do evil; their sleep is taken from them and they cannot lie down to rest. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness; and drink plentifully of the wine of violence.
