Proverbs 4:1-14
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.For I was my father’s son, tender and only[ beloved] in the sight of my mother.He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.Get wisdom, get understanding: forget[ it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.Wisdom[ is] the principal thing;[ therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.Take fast hold of instruction; let[ her] not go: keep her; for she[ is] thy life.Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil[ men].
