17. For they eat the bread of wickedness,And drink the wine of violence.
18. But the path of the just is like the shining sun,That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
19. The way of the wicked is like darkness;They do not know what makes them stumble.
20. My son, give attention to my words;Incline your ear to my sayings.
21. Do not let them depart from your eyes;Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22. For they are life to those who find them,And health to all their flesh.
23. Keep your heart with all diligence,For out of it spring the issues of life.
24. Put away from you a deceitful mouth,And put perverse lips far from you.
25. Let your eyes look straight ahead,And your eyelids look right before you.
26. Ponder the path of your feet,And let all your ways be established.
27. Do not turn to the right or the left;Remove your foot from evil.
