Proverbs 23:19 Cross References - Thomson

¹⁹ Hear, my son and be wise and direct the thoughts of thy heart aright.

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. ¹⁸ But the paths of the just shine like light; shining more and more until it is perfect day. ¹⁹ But the ways of the wicked being dark; they know not at what they stumble. ²⁰ Attend, my son, to my speech, and incline thine ear to my words. ²¹ That thy fountains may not fail thee, keep them in thy heart; ²² for they are life to them who find them and health to all flesh. ²³ Guard thy heart with all diligence; for out of these are the issues of life.

⁶ Forsake folly, that you may reign forever: and seek prudence and build up understanding with knowledge."

¹² Apply thy heart to instruction; and prepare thine ears for the words of knowledge.

²⁶ My son, give me thy heart; and let thine eyes observe my ways.
