Droga ludzi sprawiedliwych jest odchylić się od złego; a ten dusze swej strzeże, który strzeże drogi swojej.
Gościniec uprzejmych jest odstąpić od złego; strzeże duszy swej, kto strzeże drogi swojej.
Unikanie zła to zasada prawych. Kto dba o swe zasady, dba o swoje życie.
Torem prawych jest wymijanie złego; kto strzeże swojej drogi, ten zachowuje życie.
Gościniec uprzejmych jest odstąpić od złego; strzeże duszy swej, kto strzeże drogi swojej.
Droga prawych to odstąpić od zła; kto strzeże swojej drogi, strzeże swej duszy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The highway of the upright [is] to depart from evil,.... Upright persons, such who are upright in heart, and walk uprightly; these walk in the highway of holiness, in which men, though fools, shall not err; in the King's highway, the highway of the King of kings; in the plain beaten path of God's commandments; and so shun the bypaths of sin, and abstain from all appearance of it: this is their common constant course of life; they are studiously concerned to walk herein, and take delight in so doing; whereby they escape many evils others fall into;
he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul, that keeps on in his way, the way in which the upright walk; whose eyes look right on, and his eyelids straight before him; who ponders the path of his feet, and turns neither to the right hand nor the left; who walks circumspectly and carefully; observes the road he is in, to keep in it, and not go out of it; such a man preserves his soul from many snares and temptations, troubles, dangers, and evils, which he would be otherwise liable to. Here the Masorites put the word חצי, signifying that this is the half or middle of the book.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 16:17. The highway of the upright — The upright man is ever departing from evil; this is his common road: and by keeping on in this way, his soul is preserved.
