-Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you]; Bind them [securely] around your neck,Write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3

-When you walk, your steps will not be impeded [for your path will be clear and open]; And when you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take hold of instruction; [actively seek it, grip it firmly and] do not let go. Guard her, for she is your life. 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not go the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. 16 For the wicked cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are deprived of sleep unless they make someone stumble and fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness And drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is like [deep] darkness; They do not know over what they stumble. Proverbs 4: 12-19

-For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord, And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings]. 22 The iniquities done by a wicked man will trap him,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin. 23 He will die for lack of instruction (discipline), And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray and be lost. Proverbs 5: 21-23
