Proverbs 4:20-27
20My son, 1pay attention to my words; 2Incline your ear to my sayings.213They are not to escape from your sight; 4Keep them in the midst of your heart.22For they are 5life to those who find them, And 6healing to all 7their body.23Watch over your heart with all diligence, For 8from it flow the springs of life.24Rid yourself of a 9deceitful mouth And 10keep devious 11speech far from you.25Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your 12gaze be fixed straight in front of you.261314Watch the path of your feet, And all your 15ways will be established.2716Do not turn to the right or to the left; 17Turn your foot from evil.
