18 But the apath of the righteous is like the blight of dawn,

That cshines brighter and brighter until the dfull day.

19 The away of the wicked is like darkness;

They do not know over what they 1bstumble.

20 My son, agive attention to my words;

bIncline your ear to my sayings.

21 aDo not let them depart from your sight;

bKeep them in the midst of your heart.

22 For they are alife to those who find them

And bhealth to all 1their body.

23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,

For afrom it flow the springs of life.

24 Put away from you a adeceitful mouth

And bput devious 1speech far from you.

25 Let your eyes look directly ahead

And let your 1gaze be fixed straight in front of you.

26 aWatch the path of your feet

And all your bways will be established.

27 aDo not turn to the right nor to the left;

bTurn your foot from evil.
