My child, do not let them escape from your sight; safeguard sound wisdom and discretion.

Guard your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the sources of life.

My child, guard the commands of your father and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil; the one who guards his way safeguards his life.

The one who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever takes care of his master will be honored.
