'Protect' in the Bible

to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones.

Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you,

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will guard you.

Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; protect it, because it is your life.

In the speech of a fool is a rod for his back, but the words of the wise protect them.
