Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the or the left; keep your foot from evil.

– Proverbs 4:25-27 NIV

This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him: “Look at my servant, whom I have chosen. He is my beloved, who pleases me. I will put my spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious. And his name will be the hope of all the world.”

– Matthew 12:17-21

He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

– Proverbs 2:7-8 NIV

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

– 2 Timothy 15 NIV

An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.

– Proverbs 29: 6, 15, and 17

Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully. Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse. He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

– Proverbs 28: 5-6, 10

Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

– Proverbs 26:20-21

It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.

– Proverbs 25:27
