Proverbs 4:19-24 English Standard Version (ESV)

19. The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;they do not know over what they stumble.

20. My son, be attentive to my words;incline your ear to my sayings.

21. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.

22. For they are life to those who find them,and healing to all their flesh.

23. Keep your heart with all vigilance,for from it flow the springs of life.

24. Put away from you crooked speech,and put devious talk far from you.
