12 As you walk on it, you will not step into a trap. Even if you run, you will not trip and fall.
13 Always remember this teaching. Don’t forget it. It is the key to life, so guard it well.
14 Don’t take the path of the wicked; don’t follow those who do evil.
15 Stay away from that path; don’t even go near it. Turn around and go another way.
16 The wicked cannot sleep until they have done something evil. They will not rest until they bring someone down.
17 Evil and violence are their food and drink.
18 The path of those who live right is like the early morning light. It gets brighter and brighter until the full light of day.
