Context
19:10 They are of greater value than gold , than even a great amount of pure gold ; they bring greater delight than honey , than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb . 19:11 Yes , your servant finds moral guidance there; those who obey them receive a rich reward . 19:12 Who can know all his errors ? Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of . 19:13 Moreover , keep me from committing flagrant sins ; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless , and innocent of blatant rebellion . 19:14 May my words and my thoughts be acceptable in your sight , O Lord , my sheltering rock and my redeemer .
