^{23 Ref} Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

^{24 Ref} Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

^{25 Ref} Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

^{26 Ref} Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

^{27 Ref} Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

^{23 Ref} Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it `are' the outgoings of life.

^{24 Ref} Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee,

^{25 Ref} Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee.

^{26 Ref} Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways `are' established.

^{27 Ref} Incline not `to' the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!
