¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
²⁴ Put away from thee a froward mouth,
and perverse lips put far from thee.
²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
²⁶ Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established.
²⁷ Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil.

⁹ He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
    but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

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

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

¹² There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
    but the end thereof are the ways of death.
