Proverbs 4:20-Proverbs 5:6 - Staying The Course
20 My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear, 21 Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart. 22 For life they are to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing. 23 Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it are the outgoings of life. 24 Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee, 25 Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways are established. 27 Incline not to the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!
1 My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear, 2 To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil is her mouth, 4 And her latter end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword with mouths. 5 Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of. 6 The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.
