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

20 My son, listen to my words; bow down your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to all his flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a wicked mouth, and devious lips put far from you. 25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established. 27 Do not turn to the right hand nor to the left; remove your foot from evil.

1 My son, listen to my wisdom; bow your ear to my understanding; 2 in order to keep discretion, that your lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate is smoother than oil; 4 but afterward she is as bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell, 6 lest you should meditate on the path of life, her tracks are movable; you cannot know them.
