17. For they have eaten the bread of wrongdoing, And they drink the wine of violence.
18. But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
19. The way of the wrong is like darkness; They do not know at what they stumble.
20. My son, listen to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
21. Let them not depart from your eyes; Guard them in the midst of your heart;
22. For they are life to those who find them, And healing to all their flesh.
23. Watch over your heart with all diligence, For out of it are the sources of life.
24. Turn away from you a crooked mouth, And put perverse lips far from you.
25. Let your eyes look forward, And your eyelids look straight before you.
26. Consider the path of your feet, And all your ways are established.
27. Do not turn to the right or the left; Turn your foot away from evil.
