23 It is very important that you be careful about what you think,

because what you think controls [MET] the things that you do.

24 Do not say anything that deceives others

and never say what is not true.

25 Keep looking straight ahead toward the events that are before you,

and do not turn aside.

26 Plan carefully where you will go and what you will do,

and then stay on that road.

Then what you do will be right.

27 Do not leave the straight road by turning to the left or to the right.

Do only what is right

and keep yourself from doing what is evil.
