Bible in Basic English
"Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way."
— Proverbs 4:15, Bible in Basic English
“Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.”
When you go, your way will not be narrow, and in running you will not have a fall.
Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life.
Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.
Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.
For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.
The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink.
But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.
