Proverbs 4:20-24

Common English Bible

²⁰ My son, pay attention to my words.
    Bend your ear to my speech.
²¹ Don’t let them slip from your sight.
    Guard them in your mind.
²² They are life to those who find them,
    and healing for their entire body.
²³ More than anything you guard, protect your mind, for life flows from it.
²⁴ Have nothing to do with a corrupt mouth;
    keep devious lips far from you.
