Proverbs
Chapters 4:11-17
New International Version Anglicized
11I instruct you in the way of wisdomand lead you along straight paths.
12When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;when you run, you will not stumble.
13Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;guard it well, for it is your life.
14Do not set foot on the path of the wickedor walk in the way of evildoers.
15Avoid it, do not travel on it;turn from it and go on your way.
16For they cannot rest until they do evil;they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17They eat the bread of wickednessand drink the wine of violence.
