Proverbs 4:20–27

20 My son,b pay attention to what I say;

turn your ear to my words.c

21 Do not let them out of your sight,d

keep them within your heart;

22 for they are life to those who find them

and health to one’s whole body.e

23 Above all else, guardf your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.g

24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

25 Let your eyesh look straight ahead;

fix your gaze directly before you.

26 Give careful thought to thec paths for your feeti

and be steadfast in all your ways.

27 Do not turn to the right or the left;j

keep your foot from evil.
