Lent Reading: Avoid the wicked path. Proverbs 4:10-15

Hear, my son, and accept my sayings

         And the years of your life will be many.

    I have directed you in the way of wisdom;

         I have led you in upright paths.

    When you walk, your steps will not be impeded;

         And if you run, you will not stumble.

    Take hold of instruction; do not let go

         Guard her, for she is your life.

    Do not enter the path of the wicked

         And do not proceed in the way of evil men.

    Avoid it, do not pass by it;

         Turn away from it and pass on.
