Proverbs 4:25

New English Translation

Let your eyes look directly in front of you and let your gaze look straight before you.

See the chapter Copy

“I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I entertain thoughts against a virgin?

Turn my eyes away from what is worthless! Revive me with your word!

Folly is a joy to one who lacks sense, but one who has understanding follows an upright course.

A wicked person shows boldness with his face, but as for the upright, he discerns his ways.

Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will speak perverse things.

When you gaze upon riches, they are gone, for they surely make wings for themselves, and fly off into the sky like an eagle!

Remove perverse speech from your mouth; keep devious talk far from your lips.

Make the path for your feet level, so that all your ways may be established.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
