Proverbs 4:20-27
20My son, 1give attention to my words; 2Incline your ear to my sayings.213Do not let them depart from your sight; 4Keep them in the midst of your heart.22For they are 5life to those who find them And 6health to all 7their body.23Watch over your heart with all diligence, For 8from it flow the springs of life.24Put away from you a 9deceitful mouth And 10put devious 11speech far from you.25Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your 12gaze be fixed straight in front of you.2613Watch the path of your feet And all your 14ways will be established.2715Do not turn to the right nor to the left; 16Turn your foot from evil.
