The Weight of Parental Counsel.
WARNING AGAINST WICKEDNESS. — V. 25. Let thine eyes look right on, straight ahead, without any self-seeking, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee, intent upon the duties of each day and hour. V. 26. Ponder the path of thy feet, making it straight, avoiding errors and sins, and let all thy ways be established, the entire conduct guided by wise forethought. V. 27. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left, to by-paths of evil; remove thy foot from evil, withdrawing it at once in case of danger.
The entire admonition may fitly be summarized in the words of the Lord: “Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak,” Matthew 26, 41.
