Proverbs 4:26

Make straight the path for thy feet, and all thy ways shall be established.

Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner, 1752)

In The King James Version

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

In Context

25Let thy eyes look straight on, and let thy eyelids go before thy steps.

27Decline not to the right hand, nor to the left: turn away thy foot from evil. For the Lord knoweth the ways that are on the right hand: but those are perverse which are on the left hand. But he will make thy courses straight, he will bring forward thy ways in peace.
