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.
