I have taughtH3384 thee in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451; I have ledH1869 thee in rightH3476 pathsH4570.

But the pathH734 of the justH6662 is as the shiningH5051 lightH216, that shinethH215 moreH1980 and more unto the perfectH3559 dayH3117.
The wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 is as darknessH653: they knowH3045 not at what they stumbleH3782.
My sonH1121, attendH7181 to my wordsH1697; inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto my sayingsH561.
Let them not departH3868 from thine eyesH5869; keepH8104 them in the midstH8432 of thine heartH3824.
