To the wise the way of life {\i goeth} upward,\par\tab That he may depart from Sheol beneath.
Thou wilt show me the path of life:\par\tab In thy presence is fulness of joy;\par\tab In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.\par
For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Jesus saith unto him, {\cf6 I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
How narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it!\par
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod,\par\tab And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.
Her house is the way to Sheol,\par\tab Going down to the chambers of death.\par
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;\par\tab And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Her feet go down to death;\par\tab Her steps take hold on Sheol;
For her house inclineth unto death,\par\tab And her paths unto the dead;
Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee:\par\tab Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
And see if there be any wicked way in me,\par\tab And lead me in the way everlasting.
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And burneth unto the lowest Sheol, And devoureth the earth with its increase, And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.
But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light,\par\tab That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
