Living.

Proverbs 4:10-19

The Right Way and the Wrong Way To Live.

¹⁰ My child, if you listen
and obey my teachings,
    you will live a long time.
¹¹ I have shown you the way
    that makes sense;
    I have guided you
    along the right path.
¹² Your road won’t be blocked,
    and you won’t stumble
    when you run.
¹³ Hold firmly to my teaching
and never let go.
    It will mean life for you.
¹⁴ Don’t follow the bad example
    of cruel and evil people.
¹⁵     Turn aside and keep going.
    Stay away from them.
¹⁶ They can’t sleep or rest
until they do wrong
    or harm
    some innocent victim.
¹⁷ Their food and drink
    are violence and cruelty.

¹⁸ The lifestyle of good people
    is like sunlight at dawn
    that keeps getting brighter
    until broad daylight.
¹⁹ The lifestyle of the wicked
    is like total darkness,
    and they will never know
    what makes them stumble.

Have a great day,

Peter Clark.
