“My son, pay attention to what I say;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and health to one\u2019s whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for everything you do flows from it.
Keep your mouth free of perversity;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Let your eyes look straight ahead;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0fix your gaze directly before you.
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and be steadfast in all your ways.
Do not turn to the right or the left;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0keep your foot from evil.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
