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.
24. Dishonest mouth put away from you,deceitful lips put far from you.
25. Let your eyes look straight aheadand your gaze be focused forward.
26. Survey the path for your feet,and all your ways will be sure.
