New Century Version

Proverbs 4:16-23 New Century Version (NCV)

16. because they cannot sleep until they do evil.They cannot rest until they harm someone.

17. They feast on wickedness and crueltyas if they were eating bread and drinking wine.

18. The way of the good person is like the light of dawn,growing brighter and brighter until full daylight.

19. But the wicked walk around in the dark;they can’t even see what makes them stumble.

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

21. Don’t ever forget my words;keep them always in mind.

22. They are the key to life for those who find them;they bring health to the whole body.

23. Be careful what you think,because your thoughts run your life.
