Proverbs 4:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 4:20

18 ^aBut the path of the just ^bis like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

19 ^aThe way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble.

20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;

22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.

23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of ^alife.

24 Put away from you a¹ deceitful mouth,
And put perverse lips far from you.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.

26 Ponder the path of your ^afeet,
And let all your ways be established.

27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil.
