¹⁰ ¶ My son, ^[a]if sinners do entice thee, consent thou not.

²³ Keep thine heart with all diligence: for thereout cometh ^[a]life.

²⁴ Put away from thee a froward mouth, and put wicked lips far from thee.

²⁵ Let thine eyes behold the right, and let thine eyelids direct thy way before thee.

^26 [b]Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be ordered aright.

²⁷ Turn not to the right hand, nor to the left, but remove thy foot from evil.

⁹ He that walketh uprightly, walketh ^[a]boldly: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be known.

⁵ The righteousness of the upright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his own wickedness.

⁶ The righteousness of the just shall deliver them: but the transgressors shall be taken in their own wickedness.

^12 (A)There is a way that seemeth right to a man: but the issues thereof are the ways of death.

¹⁶ A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil, but a fool rageth, and is careless.

²² Do not they err that imagine evil? but to them that think on good things, shall be mercy and truth.

³ The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the evil and the good.

⁶ By ^[a]mercy and truth iniquity shall be forgiven, and by the fear of the Lord they depart from evil.

¹⁷ The path of the righteous is to decline from evil, and he keepeth his soul that keepeth his way.
