¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you,
    do not consent.

²³ Keep your heart with all vigilance;
    for from it flow the springs of life.
²⁴ Put away from you crooked speech,
    and put devious talk far from you.
²⁵ Let your eyes look directly forward,
    and your gaze be straight before you.
²⁶ Take heed to^[a] the path of your feet,
    then all your ways will be sure.
²⁷ Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
    turn your foot away from evil.

⁹ He who walks in integrity walks securely,
    but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

⁵ The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight,
    but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
    but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.

¹² There is a way which seems right to a man,
    but its end is the way to death.^[a]
