Proverbs 4:16-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. For they cannot rest unless they have done evil;if they do not trip anyone they lose sleep.

17. For they eat the bread of wickednessand drink the wine of violence.

18. But the path of the just is like shining light,that grows in brilliance till perfect day.

19. The way of the wicked is like darkness;they do not know on what they stumble.

20. My son, to my words be attentive,to my sayings incline your ear;

21. Let them not slip from your sight,keep them within your heart;

22. For they are life to those who find them,bringing health to one’s whole being.

23. With all vigilance guard your heart,for in it are the sources of life.
