Proverbs 4:20-Proverbs 5:6 - Staying The Course
20 My son, to my words, attend, to my sayings, incline thou thine ear; 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thy heart; 22 For, life, they are, to them who find them, - and, to every part of one's flesh, they bring healing. 23 Above all that must be guarded, keep thou thy heart, for, out of it, are the issues of life. 24 Remove from thee, perverseness of mouth, and, craftiness of lips, put far from thee. 25 Let, thine eyes, right onward, look, - and, thine eyelashes, point straight before thee. 26 Make level the track of thy foot, that, all thy ways, may be directed aright: 27 Decline not, to the right hand or to the left, - Turn away thy foot from wickedness.
1 My son, to my wisdom, attend, and, to mine understanding, incline thou thine ear: 2 That thou mayest preserve discretion, - and, as for knowledge, that thy lips may guard it. 3 For, with sweet droppings, drip the lips of her that is a stranger, and, smoother than oil, is her mouth; 4 But, the latter end of her, is bitter as wormwood, sharp, as a two-edged sword! 5 Her feet, are going down to death, - on hades, will her steps take firm hold. 6 Lest, the path of life, she should ponder, her tracks have wandered she knoweth not whither .
