Proverbs 4:23-27
New International Reader's Version
23 Above everything else, guard your heart.
Everything you do comes from it.
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.
26 Think carefully about the paths that your feet walk on.
Always choose the right ways.
27 Don’t turn to the right or left.
Keep your feet from the path of evil.

fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the[a] paths for your feet(D)
and be steadfast in all your ways.

keep your foot from evil.
