'Keeps' in the Bible
He who despises his neighbor lacks sense,But a man of understanding keeps silent.
He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets,But he who is trustworthy and faithful keeps a matter hidden.
The one who guards his mouth [thinking before he speaks] protects his life;The one who opens his lips wide [and chatters without thinking] comes to ruin.
He who gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul;He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.
He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.
He who guards his mouth and his tongueGuards himself from troubles.
He who keeps the law [of God and man] is a wise and discerning son,But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father [and himself].
A man who is burdened with the guilt of human blood (murder)Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him or give him refuge.
Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and His word], the people are unrestrained;But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God].
