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

²³ With all vigilance, keep your heart,
    for from it comes the source^[a] of life.
²⁴ Remove from yourself deceitful speech,^[b]
    and abolish devious talk^[c] from yourself.
²⁵ May your eyes look forward^[d]
    and your gaze be straight before you.
²⁶ May the path of your foot be balanced
    and all your ways be sure.
²⁷ Do not swerve right or left;
    remove your foot from evil.

⁹ Whoever walks in integrity^[a] will walk securely,
    but whoever follows perversity, his ways will be made known.

⁵ The righteousness of the blameless will keep his ways straight,
    but the wicked will fall by his wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright will save them,
    but by a scheme the treacherous will be taken captive.

¹² There is a way that seems upright to^[a] a man,
    but its end is the way of death.
