¹⁹ The way of the slothful `is' as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.

⁵ Thorns -- snares `are' in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.

¹³ The slothful hath said, `A lion `is' in the way, A lion `is' in the broad places.'

¹³ The slothful hath said, `A lion `is' without, In the midst of the broad places I am slain.'

¹⁴ And he hath said, `Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.'

⁸ And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the `way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself `is' by them, Whoso is going in the way -- even fools err not.

²¹ And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, `This `is' the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.

⁹ All of them `are' plain to the intelligent, And upright to those finding knowledge.

¹¹ Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

¹² Who `is' this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

⁸ Good and upright `is' Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

⁹ He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.

⁸ O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

⁷ and they speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, `The land into which we have passed over to spy it, `is' a very very good land;

⁸ if Jehovah hath delighted in us, then He hath brought us in unto this land, and hath given it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey;

⁹ only, against Jehovah rebel not ye: and ye, fear not ye the people of the land, for our bread they `are'; their defence hath turned aside from off them, and Jehovah `is' with us; fear them not.'

¹ And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;

² and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, `O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!

³ and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'

⁶ In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.
