Proverbs 4:20-Proverbs 5:6 - Staying The Course

20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my words. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them and medicine to all their flesh. 23 Above all else, guard thy heart; for out of it flows the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee the perversion of the mouth, and the deviation of the lips put far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look upon that which is right, and let thine eyelids straighten thy path before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, 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 unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my intelligence; 2 that thou may keep council and that thy lips may conserve knowledge. 3 For the lips of the strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil, 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death, her steps uphold Sheol, 6 lest thou should ponder the path of life, her ways are unstable; thou shalt not know them.
