14 In the path of the unjust thou shalt not go, and thou shalt not advance in the way of the wicked. 15 Reject it, thou shalt not pass in it; turn aside from it and pass by. 16 For they slept not, if they shall not do evil; and their sleep was taken away, if they shall not cause to falter. 17 For they ate the bread of injustice, and they will drink the wine of violences: 18 The path of the just as the light shining, going and shining even to the day prepared. 19 The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble. 20 My son, attend to my word; incline thine ear to my sayings. 21 They shall not turn aside from thine eyes; watch them in the midst of thy heart. 22 For they are life to those finding them, and healing to all their flesh. 23 Guard thy heart with all watching, for from it the goings forth of life. 24 Turn away from thee perverseness of mouth, and frowardness of lips remove far oft from thee. 25 Thine eyes shall look straight before, and thine eyelashes shall be right before thee. 26 Make level the track of thy feet, and all thy ways shall be prepared. 27 Thou shalt not decline to the right and the left: turn away thy foot from evil.
