24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
24 The path of life leads upward for the prudent to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.
24 The path of life leads upward for the prudent, that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.
24 Life ascends to the heights for the thoughtful - it's a clean about-face from descent into hell.
24 The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below.
24 The path of life leads upward for the wise; they leave the grave behind.
