18 But the (A)path of the righteous is like the (B)light of dawn
That (C)shines brighter and brighter until the (D)full day.
19 The (E)way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they [a](F)stumble.

20 My son, (G)pay attention to my words;
(H)Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 (I)They are not to escape from your sight;
(J)Keep them in the midst of your heart.
22 For they are (K)life to those who find them,
And (L)healing to all [b]their body.
23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For (M)from it flow the springs of life.
