- 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.
|
- My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
- Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart.
- For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body.
- Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
- Put away from you a deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you.
