20 My child, be attentive to my words; to my sayings incline your ear.
21 May they not escape from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them and healing to the entire body.
23 With all vigilance, keep your heart, for from it comes the source of life.
24 Remove from yourself deceitful speech, and abolish devious talk from yourself.
25 May your eyes look forward and your gaze be straight before you.
26 May the path of your foot be balanced and all your ways be sure.
