Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

This is God, our God forever and ever. He will show us the way until death.

Agree with Him in all your ways, and He will make your paths straight.

"I will lead the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths they do not know. I will turn darkness into light in front of them. And I will make the bad places smooth. These are the things I will do and I will not leave them."

Yet I am always with You. You hold me by my right hand. You will lead me by telling me what I should do. And after this, You will bring me into shining-greatness.

Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles. Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
