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

20 (H)My son, be attentive to my words;
    incline your ear to my sayings.
21 (I)Let them not escape from your sight;
    (J)keep them within your heart.
22 For they are (K)life to those who find them,
    and healing to all their[a] flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,
    for (L)from it flow (M)the springs of life.
