Proverbs 4:18-27 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

18. The way of the good person is like the light of dawn.It grows brighter and brighter until it is full daylight.

19. But the wicked are like those who stumble in the dark.They can’t even see what has hurt them.

20. My child, pay attention to my words.Listen closely to what I say.

21. Don’t ever forget my words.Keep them deep within your heart.

22. These words are the secret to life for those who find them.They bring health to the whole body.

23. Be very careful about what you think.Your thoughts run your life.

24. Don’t use your mouth to tell lies.Don’t ever say things that are not true.

25. Keep your eyes focused on what is right.Keep looking straight ahead to what is good.

26. Be careful what you do.Always do what is right.

27. Do not do anything unless it is right.Stay away from evil.
