Proverbs 4:23–25

23 Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.

24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;

fix your gaze directly before you.

23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,

for from it flow the springs of life.

24 Put away from you crooked speech,

and put devious talk far from you.

25 Let your eyes look directly forward,

and your gaze be straight before you.

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence;

For out of it are the issues of life.

24 Put away from thee a froward mouth,

And perverse lips put far from thee.

25 Let thine eyes look right on,

And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

23 Guard your heart above all else,

for it determines the course of your life.

24 Avoid all perverse talk;

stay away from corrupt speech.

25 Look straight ahead,

and fix your eyes on what lies before you.

23 Be careful what you think,

because your thoughts run your life.

24 Don’t use your mouth to tell lies;

don’t ever say things that are not true.

25 Keep your eyes focused on what is right,

and look straight ahead to what is good.

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence;

For out of it are the issues of life.

24 Put away from thee a wayward mouth,

And perverse lips put far from thee.

25 Let thine eyes look right on,

And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

23 Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee perverseness of mouth, and corrupt lips put far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

23 Guard your heart more than anything else, 

because the source of your life flows from it. 

24 Remove dishonesty from your mouth. 

Put deceptive speech far away from your lips. 

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead 

and your sight be focused in front of you. 

23 Guard your heart above all else,

for it is the source of life.

24 Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,

and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

25 Let your eyes look forward;

fix your gaze straight ahead.

23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,

for from it flow the springs of life.

24 Put away from you crooked speech,

and put devious talk far from you.

25 Let your eyes look directly forward

and your gaze be straight before you.

23 With all vigilance, keep your heart,

for from it comes the source of life.

24 Remove from yourself deceitful speech,

and abolish devious talk from yourself.

25 May your eyes look forward

and your gaze be straight before you.

23 Above everything else, guard your heart.

It is where your life comes from.

24 Don’t speak with twisted words.

Keep evil talk away from your lips.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead.

Keep looking right in front of you.

23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,

For from it flow the springs of life.

24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth

And put devious speech far from you.

25 Let your eyes look directly ahead

And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
