Proverbs 4:11-17 World English Bible (WEB)

11. I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths.

12. When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.

13. Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

14. Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.

15. Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.

16. For they don’t sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.

17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
