Proverbs 4:13-27

4:13

Take fast hold
<02388> (8685)

of instruction
<04148>_;

let [her] not go
<07503> (8686)_:

keep
<05341> (8798)

her; for she [is] thy life
<02416>_.

4:14

Enter
<0935> (8799)

not into the path
<0734>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

and go
<0833> (8762)

not in the way
<01870>

of evil
<07451>

[men].

4:15

Avoid
<06544> (8798)

it, pass
<05674> (8799)

not by it, turn
<07847> (8798)

from it, and pass away
<05674> (8798)_.

4:16

For they sleep
<03462> (8799)

not, except they have done mischief
<07489> (8686)_;

and their sleep
<08142>

is taken away
<01497> (8738)_,

unless they cause [some] to fall
<03782> (8686) (8675) <03782> (8799)_.

4:17

For they eat
<03898> (8804)

the bread
<03899>

of wickedness
<07562>_,

and drink
<08354> (8799)

the wine
<03196>

of violence
<02555>_.

4:18

But the path
<0734>

of the just
<06662>

[is] as the shining
<05051>

light
<0216>_,

that shineth
<0215> (8804)

more
<01980> (8802)

and more unto the perfect
<03559> (8737)

day
<03117>_.

4:19

The way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] as darkness
<0653>_:

they know
<03045> (8804)

not at what they stumble
<03782> (8735)_.

4:20

My son
<01121>_,

attend
<07181> (8685)

to my words
<01697>_;

incline
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>

unto my sayings
<0561>_.

4:21

Let them not depart
<03868> (8686)

from thine eyes
<05869>_;

keep
<08104> (8798)

them in the midst
<08432>

of thine heart
<03824>_.

4:22

For they [are] life
<02416>

unto those that find
<04672> (8802)

them, and health
<04832>

to all their flesh
<01320>_.

{health: Heb. medicine}

4:23

Keep
<05341> (8798)

thy heart
<03820>

with all diligence
<04929>_;

for out of it [are] the issues
<08444>

of life
<02416>_.

{with...: Heb. above all keeping}

4:24

Put away
<05493> (8685)

from thee a froward
<06143>

mouth
<06310>_,

and perverse
<03891>

lips
<08193>

put far
<07368> (8685)

from thee. {a froward...: Heb. frowardness of mouth and perverseness of lips}

4:25

Let thine eyes
<05869>

look
<05027> (8686)

right on
<05227>_,

and let thine eyelids
<06079>

look straight
<03474> (8686)

before thee.

4:26

Ponder
<06424> (8761)

the path
<04570>

of thy feet
<07272>_,

and let all thy ways
<01870>

be established
<03559> (8735)_.

{let...: or, all thy ways shall be ordered aright}

4:27

Turn
<05186> (8799)

not to the right hand
<03225>

nor to the left
<08040>_:

remove
<05493> (8685)

thy foot
<07272>

from evil
<07451>_.
