The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.
And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked; whoever guards his soul will keep far from them.
The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!”
The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets!”
They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.
Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Then all the congregation raised a loud cry, and the people wept that night. And all the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”
And it shall be said, “Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people's way.”
