Proverbs 4:12

Guidance and decisionsProtection and safetyFear

10 Listen, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life will be many.

11 I will guide you in the way of wisdom; I will lead you on straight paths.

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded; when you run, you will not stumble.

13 Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.
