'Keeping' in the Bible

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.

And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?

And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!'

And his wife saith to him, 'Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless God and die.'

Men gave ear to me, waiting and keeping quiet for my suggestions.

turning a person from his actions, keeping him from pride,

Keeping back his soul from the underworld, so that he may see the light of life.
