Proverbs 4:20-Proverbs 5:6 - Staying The Course
20 My child, be attentive to my words; to my sayings incline your ear. 21 May they not escape from your {sight}; keep them in [the] midst of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them and healing {to the entire body}. 23 With all vigilance, keep your heart, for from it [comes] the source of life. 24 Remove from yourself {deceitful speech}, and abolish {devious talk} from yourself. 25 May your eyes look forward and your gaze be straight before you. 26 May the path of your foot be balanced and all your ways be sure. 27 Do not swerve right or left; remove your foot from evil.
1 My child, be attentive to my wisdom, and to my understanding incline your ear; 2 [in order] to keep prudence, and knowledge will guard your lips. 3 For the lips of the strange woman will drip honey, and smoother than oil is her mouth. 4 But her end is bitter as the wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down [to] death; her steps take hold [of] Sheol. 6 She does not observe the path of life; her ways wander, [and] she does not know [it].
