Pay attention, my child, to what I say. Listen carefully.

Don't lose sight of my words. Let them penetrate deep within your heart,

for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers their meaning.
23
Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do. a24
Avoid all perverse talk; stay far from corrupt speech.
25
Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
26
Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe.
27
Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.
