Proverbs16:17
17 The high-way of the upright is to depart from evil , he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul .
Their common road, in which they constantly purpose and desire, and customarily use, to walk, although somtimes through frailty or temptation they slip into the by-paths of sin.
From the evil of sin, and consequently from the evil of punishment.
That takes heed to walk in that high-way.
From that mischief which befalls those that walk in the crooked paths of wickedness.
