Bible in Basic English
Put away from you an evil tongue, and let false lips be far from you.
Keep your eyes on what is in front of you, looking straight before you.
Keep a watch on your behaviour; let all your ways be rightly ordered.
Let there be no turning to the right or to the left, keep your feet from evil.
