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

20 My son, mark my words, and incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them even in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto all those that find them, and health unto all their bodies. 23 Keep thine heart with all diligence, for thereupon hangeth life. 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and let the lips of slander be far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes behold the thing that is right, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet: so shall all thy ways be sure. 27 Turn not aside, neither to the righthand nor to the left; but withhold thy foot from evil.

1 My son, give heed unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my prudence: 2 that thou mayest regard good counsel, and that thy lips may keep nurture. 3 For the lips of a harlot are a dropping honeycomb, and her throat is softer than oil. 4 But at the last she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two edged sword. 5 Her feet go down unto death, and her steps pierce through unto hell. 6 She regardeth not the path of life, so unsteadfast are her ways, that thou canst not know them.
