10  My son, if sinners ^lentice you,

do not consent.

23  Keep your heart with all vigilance,

for ^ofrom it flow ^pthe springs of life.

24  Put away from you ^qcrooked speech,

and put ^rdevious talk far from you.

25  ^sLet your eyes look directly forward,

and your gaze be straight before you.

26  ^tPonder¹ the path of your feet;

^uthen all your ways will be sure.

27  ^vDo not swerve to the right or to the left;

turn your foot away from evil.

9  ^rWhoever walks in integrity walks securely,

but he who makes his ways crooked ^swill be found out.

5  The righteousness of the blameless ⁱkeeps his way straight,

but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.

6  ^hThe righteousness of the upright delivers them,

but the treacherous ^jare taken captive by their lust.

12  ^tThere is a way that seems right to a man,

but ^uits end is the way to death.¹

16  ^aOne who is wise is cautious¹ and ^bturns away from evil,

but a fool is reckless and careless.

22  Do they not go astray who ⁱdevise evil?

Those who devise good meet^{1 j}steadfast love and faithfulness.

3  ^gThe eyes of the Lord are in every place,

keeping watch on the evil and the good.

6  By ^tsteadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,

and by ^uthe fear of the Lord one ^vturns away from evil.

17  The highway of the upright ^lturns aside from evil;

whoever guards his way preserves his life.

21  ⁱMany are the plans in the mind of a man,

but ^jit is the purpose of the Lord ^kthat will stand.

15  When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous

^sbut terror to evildoers.

26  Whoever ^utrusts in his own mind is a fool,

but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

6  An evil man is ^kensnared in his transgression,

but a righteous man ^lsings and rejoices.
