proverbs4: brighter and brighter

In Psalm 4 we read:


18-19 The ways of right-living people glow with light;

    the longer they live, the brighter they shine.

But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker—

    travelers can’t see a thing; they fall flat on their faces.


The right-living people repents and learn how to do well. The longer the one who searches for wisdom lives, the brighter they shine. However, the wrongdoing can´t see where they are going, they can't discern their own wrongs, they don't repent and fall falt on their faces.

    

20-22 Dear friend, listen well to my words;

    tune your ears to my voice.

Keep my message in plain view at all times.

    Concentrate! Learn it by heart!

Those who discover these words live, really live;

    body and soul, they’re bursting with health.


The preachers asks the reader to pay attention to his words because it is so easy to forget how to discern what is right and wrong and keep walking blindly in life.
