20_PRO_04_02 for I give you good doctrine , forsake ye not my law .
20_PRO_04_03 for I was my father's son , tender And only [ beloved ] in the sight of my mother .
20_PRO_04_04 he taught me also , And said unto me , let thine heart retain my words : keep my commandments , And live .
20_PRO_04_05 get wisdom , get understanding : forget [ it ] not ; neither decline from the words of my mouth .
20_PRO_04_06 forsake her not , And she shall preserve thee : love her , And she shall keep thee .

20_PRO_04_16 for they Sleep not , except they have done mischief ; And their Sleep Is taken away , unless they cause [ some ] to fall .
20_PRO_04_17 for they eat the bread of wickedness , And drink the wine of violence .
20_PRO_04_18 but the path of the just [ Is ] as the shining light , that shineth more And more unto the perfect day .

20_PRO_04_21 let them not Depart from thine eyes ; keep them in the midst of thine heart .
20_PRO_04_22 for they [ are ] life unto those that find them , And health to all their flesh .
20_PRO_04_23 keep thy heart with all diligence ; for out of it [ are ] the issues of life .
20_PRO_04_24 put away from thee A froward mouth , And perverse lips put far from thee .
20_PRO_04_25 let thine eyes Look right on , And let thine eyelids Look straight before thee .
20_PRO_04_26 ponder the path of thy feet , And let all thy ways be established .
20_PRO_04_27 turn not to the right hand nor to the left : remove thy foot from evil .
