Proverbs 4:20-Proverbs 5:6 - Staying The Course
20 My son, attend to my words. Incline thine ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep them in the midst of thy heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee a wayward mouth, and put perverse lips far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Make the path of thy feet level, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left. Remove thy foot from evil.
1 My son, attend to my wisdom. Incline thine ear to my understanding, 2 that thou may preserve discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of an interloping woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. 4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold on Sheol, 6 so that she does not find the level path of life. Her ways are unstable, [and] she does not know.
