Proverbs 4 — GMV

4 Verse 1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, ^{Verse 2} For I give you a good gift; ^{Verse 3} For I also was a son obedient to my father, ^{Verse 4} Who spoke and instructed me, saying, ^{Verse 5} And do not neglect the speech of my mouth. ^{Verse 6} And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: ^{Verse 8} Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: ^{Verse 9} That it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, ^{Verse 10} Hear, my son, and receive my words; ^{Verse 11} For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; ^{Verse 12} For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; ^{Verse 13} Take hold of my instruction; let it not go— ^{Verse 14} Go not in the ways of the ungodly, ^{Verse 15} In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; ^{Verse 16} For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: ^{Verse 17} For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, ^{Verse 18} But the ways of the righteous shine like light; ^{Verse 19} But the ways of the ungodly are dark; ^{Verse 20} My son, attend to my speech; ^{Verse 21} That thy fountains may not fail thee; ^{Verse 22} For they are life to those that find them, ^{Verse 23} Keep thy heart with the utmost care; ^{Verse 24} Remove from thee a froward mouth, ^{Verse 25} Let thine eyes look right on, ^{Verse 26} Make straight paths for thy feet, ^{Verse 27} Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, For God knows the ways on the right hand, And he will make thy ways straight,
