'Around' in the Bible

Do not let gracious love and truth leave you. Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,

A worthless man, a wicked man, goes around with devious speech,

by binding them to your heart continuously, fastening them around your neck.

All the relatives of a poor person shun him how much more do his friends avoid him! Though he runs after them pleading, they aren't around.
