The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but He blesseth the habitation of the just.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
