16 Those who fear the Lordwill discover his decree,and they will kindle righteous deedslike a lamp.
17 Sinful people turn away from correction;they will look for a judgmentthat suits them.
18 A well-advised personwon’t overlook an intelligent thought;the stranger and the arrogantwon’t cower out of fear.
19 Do nothing without deliberation,and when you have acted,don’t feel regret.
20 Don’t walk on a hazardous path,and don’t stumble on stony ground.
21 Don’t trust an unexplored road,
22 and be on guardconcerning your children.
