23  Keep your heart with all vigilance,

for ^ofrom it flow ^pthe springs of life.

24  Put away from you ^qcrooked speech,

and put ^rdevious talk far from you.

25  ^sLet your eyes look directly forward,

and your gaze be straight before you.

26  ^tPonder¹ the path of your feet;

^uthen all your ways will be sure.

27  ^vDo not swerve to the right or to the left;

turn your foot away from evil.
