Search me, O El, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious
thought.
See if there is any offensive way in me;
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24
He who obeys instructions guards
his life,
but he who is contemptuous of his
ways will die.
The way of the sluggard is blocked
with thorns,
but the path of the upright is a
highway.
