Proverbs 4:10-13

10 Hear, son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.

11 For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths.

12 For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed.

13 Take hold of my instruction; let it not go, —but keep it for thyself for thy life.

Proverbs 4:20-27

20 son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words:

21 that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in heart.

22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all flesh.

23 Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life.

24 Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips.

25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent just .

26 Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright.

27 Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way: and he will make thy ways straight, and will guide thy steps in peace.
