Proverbs 4:25

Modern English Version

Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your gaze be directly before you.

See the chapter Copy

“I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a young woman?

Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, and revive me in Your ways.

Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.

A wicked man defiantly hardens his face, but the upright establishes his way.

Your eyes will behold strange women, and your heart will utter perverse things.

Will you let your eyes fly after that which is not? For such wealth certainly sprouts wings, flying away like an eagle to the heavens.

Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.

Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.

“The light of the body is the eye. Therefore, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
