Thoughts…
Talk about it when you rise, along the way
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the Lord swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
Know the state of your flocks

give careful attention to your herds;
for riches do not endure for ever,
and a crown is not secure for all generations.
Think on these things
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

and streams in the wasteland.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

which yields its fruit in season
