20 My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes—keep them in the midst of your heart. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 For they are life to those finding them, and to all his flesh healing. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.
23 With all diligence, guard your heart, for from it are the outgoings of life. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
24 Turn away from you the crookedness of the mouth, and perverse lips put far from you. Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Your eyes should look forward, and your eyelids keep straight before you. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level the path for your feet, and all your ways shall be established. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not bend away to the right or the left; turn aside your foot from evil. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
