The way of life is above to the wise, That he may depart from hell beneath.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Her house is the way to hell, Going down to the chambers of death.
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on hell.
For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And shall burn unto the lowest hell, And shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
