Get wisdom, get prudence: forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth.

I will shew thee the way of wisdom, I will lead thee by the paths of equity:

Which when thou shalt have entered, thy steps shall not be straitened, and when thou runnest thou shalt not meet a stumblingblock.

Proverbs 4:13
Take hold on instruction, leave it not: keep it, because it is thy life.

Proverbs 4:14
Be not delighted in the paths of the wicked, neither let the way of evil men please thee.

Proverbs 4:15
Flee from it, pass not by it: go aside, and forsake it.

Proverbs 4:16
For they sleep not except they have done evil: and their sleep is taken away unless they have made some to fall.

They eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of iniquity.

The way of the wicked is darksome: they know not where they fall.

My son, hearken to my words, and incline thy ear to my sayings.

Proverbs 4:21
Let them not depart from thy eyes, keep them in the midst of thy heart:

Proverbs 4:22
For they are life to those that find them, and health to all flesh.

Proverbs 4:23
With all watchfulness keep thy heart, because life issueth out from it.

Proverbs 4:24
Remove from thee a froward mouth, and let detracting lips be far from thee.

Proverbs 4:25
Let thy eyes look straight on, and let thy eyelids go before thy steps.

Proverbs 4:26
Make straight the path for thy feet, and all thy ways shall be established.

Proverbs 4:27
Decline not to the right hand, nor to the left: turn away thy foot from evil. For the Lord knoweth the ways that are on the right hand: but those are perverse which are on the left hand. But he will make thy courses straight, he will bring forward thy ways in peace.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
