Proverbs 4:20-22 [NKJV] My son, give attention (be attentive, attend to) to my words; [21] Incline (bend down, bow, influence) your ear to my sayings do not let them depart (turn aside) from your eyes; Keep (guard) them in the midst of your heart; [22] For they are life (alive, fresh, and strong) to those who find them, and health (The Hebrew word “marpe” from the word origin: rapha is also translated cure, healing, health, medicine) to all their flesh.
