Proverbs 4:20-27 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

20. My son, hearken to my words, and incline thy ear to my sayings.

21. Let them not depart from thy eyes, keep them in the midst of thy heart:

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

23. With all watchfulness keep thy heart, because life issueth out from it.

24. Remove from thee a froward mouth, and let detracting lips be far from thee.

25. Let thy eyes look straight on, and let thy eyelids go before thy steps.

26. Make straight the path for thy feet, and all thy ways shall be established.

27. Decline not to the right hand, nor to the left: turn away thy foot from evil. For the Lord knoweth the ways that are on the right hand: but those are perverse which are on the left hand. But he will make thy courses straight, he will bring forward thy ways in peace.
