Proverbs 4:21-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. Let them not recede from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart.

22. For they are life to those who find them and health to all that is flesh.

23. Preserve your heart with all watchfulness, for life proceeds from this.

24. Remove from yourself a corrupt mouth, and let detracting lips be far from you.

25. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and let your eyelids precede your steps.

26. Direct the path of your feet, and all your ways shall be secure.

27. Turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left; yet turn your foot away from evil. For the Lord knows the ways that are on the right, and truly, those that are on the left are perverse. But he himself will make your courses straight. Then your journey will advance in peace.
