Proverbs 4:25

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Be straightforward in thy aims and thy walk in life, making the home above, and its statutes thy aim; just as the runner in a race looks straight to the goal, and turns not to the right hand or to the left (); or, as an archer, look straight at the mark (cf. "Let us run with patience the race ... set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith," Hebrews 12:1). 'Do not do anything rashly, but with premeditation. Cautiously look to the way whereby thou art walking, that it be the right way, and rightly trodden by thee' (Gejer).
