Proverbs 4:20-27 – Chiasm
(ASV) Anacrusis: 20a) My son, attend to my words
A – OUTWARD MAN: (20b) Incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21a) Let them not depart from thine eyes;
B – INWARD MAN: (21b) Keep them in the midst of thy heart. 22a) For they are life unto those that find them,
C – OUTWARD MAN: (22b) And health to all their flesh.
B’ – INWARD MAN: 23) Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.
A’ – OUTWARD MAN: 24) Put away from thee a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee. 25) Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26) Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established. 27) Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.
