In the Book of Proverbs (Chapter 4), we read this passage (per the JUB translation) under the title: A Father’s Wise Instruction. It says that these words of wisdom are medicine to the flesh. The passage is copied here in a modified prescription format. Please reflect on three of the five prescribed “medicines” and how they might work to bring healing to the flesh. (12 points)

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my words. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them and medicine to all their flesh”:

1) Above all else, guard thy heart; for out of it flows the issues of life.

2) Put away from thee the perversion of the mouth, and the deviation of the lips put far from thee.

3) Let thine eyes look upon that which is right, and let thine eyelids straighten thy path before thee.

4) Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

5) Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil.
