- My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
- Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
- For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
- Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
- Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

- My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
- Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
- for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
- Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
- Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
