Proverbs 4:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ The path of those who do right is like the sun in the morning.
    It shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.
¹⁹ But the way of those who do what is wrong is like deep darkness.
    They don’t know what makes them trip and fall.

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