Psalm 118:9 Douay-Rheims

BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.

Clement of Alexandria

c. A.D. 150–215 Patristic

To sum up, David in the Psalms speaks about obedience: "How shall a young person keep his path straight?" The answer comes immediately: "By keeping your Word with his whole heart." Jeremiah says, "These are the Lord's words: do not follow the paths of the Gentiles."
