Proverbs 31:27

She is attentive (watches) to everything that happens in the home (literally "watches over the ways to and from the house," she is spiritually alert to what is allowed to enter the home)
and she does not take the bread of laziness (gossip, discontent, self-pity) into her mouth.
[The eighteenth Hebrew letter is: צ – Tsade. The character depicts a fish hook. It often symbolizes righteousness, and here it is precisely the verb "She is attentive" that begins with this letter. An unusual word for roads is used here. In Job 6:19 it describes traveling merchants and in Ps. 68:24 "the king's victory march." It is important to be attentive to what you allow to enter and happen in your home, so that you do not invite injustice. What you sow, you reap. Bread is the finished product of the wheat that has been sown. The expression "bread of sloth" is thus the result of indifference and inattention to what enters the home.]
