21 Never let them get away from you. Remember them and keep them in your heart.

21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;

22 They will give life and health to anyone who understands them.

22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.

23 Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.

23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

25 Look straight ahead with honest confidence; don't hang your head in shame.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.
