Proverbs 4:21-27

The Voice

²¹ Keep them before you; meditate on them;
    set them safely in your heart.
²² For those who discover them, they are life.
    They bring wholeness and healing to their bodies.
²³ Above all else, watch over your heart; diligently guard it
    because from a sincere and pure heart come the good and noble things of life.
²⁴ Do away with any talk that twists and distorts the truth;
    have nothing to do with any verbal trickery.
²⁵ Keep your head up, your eyes straight ahead,
    and your focus fixed on what is in front of you.
²⁶ Take care you don’t stray from the straight path, the way of truth,
    and you will safely reach the end of your road.
²⁷ Do not veer off course to the right or the left;
    step away from evil, and leave it behind.
