Proverbs 4

23 With all vigilance, keep your heart,

for from it comes the source*Or "extremity" of life.

24 Remove from yourself deceitful speech,*Literally "crookedness of mouth"

and abolish devious talk*Literally "deviousness of lips" from yourself.

25 May your eyes look forward*Or "opposite"

and your gaze be straight before you.

26 May the path of your foot be balanced

and all your ways be sure.

27 Do not swerve right or left;

remove your foot from evil.
