21 Qu’ils ne s’éloignent pas de tes yeux; Garde-les dans le fond de ton cœur;

22 Car c’est la vie pour ceux qui les trouvent, C’est la santé pour tout leur corps.

23 Garde ton cœur plus que toute autre chose, Car de lui viennent les sources de la vie.

24 Écarte de ta bouche la fausseté, Éloigne de tes lèvres les détours.

25 Que tes yeux regardent en face, Et que tes paupières se dirigent devant toi.
