The paths of life turn aside from evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that loves his life will spare his mouth.
KJV
Proverbs 16:17
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
