Proverbs 4:20-27

Tree of Life Version

²⁰ My son, pay attention to my words—
incline your ear to my sayings.
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 health to their whole body.
²³ Guard your heart diligently,
for from it flow the springs of life.
²⁴ Put away perversity from your mouth,
and keep devious lips far from you.
²⁵ Let your eyes look directly ahead,
and fix your gaze straight in front of you.
²⁶ Clear a level path for your feet,
so all your ways will be firm.
²⁷ Do not turn to the right or to the left.
Divert your foot from evil.
