Proverbs 4:26

Direct the path of your feet, and all your ways shall be secure.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

In Context

25Let your eyes look straight ahead, and let your eyelids precede your steps.

27Turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left; yet turn your foot away from evil. For the Lord knows the ways that are on the right, and truly, those that are on the left are perverse. But he himself will make your courses straight. Then your journey will advance in peace.
