Keep

Thorns and nets are in the way of the twisted: he who keeps watch over his soul will be far from them.

Give ear, my son, and be wise, guiding your heart in the right way

He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe.

Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:

The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?

Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

With all diligence

The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.

My son, keep good sense, and do not let wise purpose go from your eyes.

A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth.

He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.

There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun--wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.

For

The good man out of his good store gives good things; and the evil man out of his evil store gives evil things.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:

Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
