Proverbs 4:20-27 ▼

20 My son, pay attention to my words, and listen closely to what I say.

21 Do not let them out of your sight; keep them within your heart.

22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.

23 Above everything else guard your heart, because from it flow the springs of life.

24 Never talk deceptively and don't keep company with people whose speech is corrupt.

25 Let your eyes look directly ahead; fix your gaze straight in front of you.

26 Carefully measure the paths for your feet, and all your ways will be established.

27 Do not turn to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
