Proverbs 4:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

22 For they are life to those who find them,(A)
    bringing health to one’s whole being.
23 With all vigilance guard your heart,
    for in it are the sources of life.
24 [a]Dishonest mouth put away from you,
    deceitful lips put far from you.
