Proverbs 4:25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you. What is in these terms specially indicated is simplicity of principle and aim; singleness of motive; an upright, unswerving regard to duty. The path of duty is one. It is narrow and straight. On it the eye should constantly and steadily be set — looking "right on," not to any seducing objects that present themselves on the one hand or on the other. Many things may allure — may hold out tempting seductions from the onward path. Many other paths may appear more smooth, more easy, and in all respects for the time more desirable; but the one and only question must ever be, What is duty? (R. Wardlaw, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.WEB: Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. |
