Verse 21 is found in chapter 3 of Proverbs. The disciple is urged to preserve sound judgment and prudence in order to walk securely, sleep without fear, and avoid deliberately harming others. The instructions take on a communal dimension: do not withhold good from the needy when it is within your power to act, do not plan evil against your neighbor, and do not envy the violent. The passage concludes by distinguishing divine blessing upon the upright from divine opposition to the perverse.

Mein Kind, laß sie nicht von deinen Augen weichen, so wirst du glückselig und klug werden.
Hijo mío, no se aparten estas cosas de tus ojos; Guarda la ley y el consejo;
Mon fils, que ces enseignements ne s'éloignent pas de tes yeux, Garde la sagesse et la réflexion:
Figliuol mio, non dipartansi giammai queste cose dagli occhi tuoi; Guarda la ragione e l’avvedimento;
Filho meu, não se apartem estas coisas dos teus olhos: guarda a verdadeira sabedoria e o bom siso;
我兒啊,要謹守健全的知識和智謀, 不可使它們偏離你的眼目。
