20 My sonne marke my wordes, and encline thyne eare vnto my sayinges:

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes, but kepe them euen in the middest of thyne heart:

22 For they are life vnto those that finde them, and health vnto all their bodyes.

23 Kepe thyne heart with all diligence, for out of it issueth lyfe.

24 Put away from thee a frowarde mouth, and let the lippes of slaunder be farre from thee.

25 Let thyne eyes beholde that thyng that is right, and let thyne eye liddes loke straight before thee.

26 Ponder the path of thy feete, and let all thy wayes be ordred aright.

27 Turne not aside, neither to the right hande nor to the left: but wihholde thy foote from euyll.
