If you really want to become wise, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. All those who follow his rules have good understanding. People should praise him forever.

If you really want to gain knowledge, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. But foolish people hate wisdom and instruction.

I will guide you and teach you the way you should go. I will give you good advice and watch over you with love.

My son, accept my words. Store up my commands inside you.Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding.Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding.Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God.The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.He stores up success for honest people. He is like a shield to those who live without blame.He guards the path of those who are honest. He watches over the way of his faithful ones.You will understand what is right and honest and fair. You will understand the right way to live.

My sons, listen to a father’s teaching. Pay attention and gain understanding.

The Lord’ s people are making fun of him. They say,“ Who does he think he’s trying to teach? Who does he think he’s explaining his message to? Is it to children who do not need their mother’s milk anymore? Is it to those who have just been taken from her breast?

I love those who love me. Those who look for me find me.

Come and hear, all you who have respect for God. Let me tell you what he has done for me.

When Jesus saw this, he was angry. He said to his disciples,“ Let the little children come to me. Don’t keep them away. God’s kingdom belongs to people like them.What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who will not receive God’s kingdom like a little child will never enter it.”Then he took the children in his arms. He placed his hands on them to bless them.

My sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.

You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.

Start children off on the right path. And even when they are old, they will not turn away from it.

Jesus called a little child over to him. He had the child stand among them.Jesus said,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You need to change and become like little children. If you don’t, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Anyone who takes the humble position of this child is the most important in the kingdom of heaven.

“ My children, listen to me. Blessed are those who keep my ways.

You young people, be happy while you are still young. Let your heart be joyful while you are still strong. Do what your heart tells you to do. Go after what your eyes look at. But I want you to know that God will judge you for everything you do.So drive worry out of your heart. Get rid of all your troubles. Being young and strong doesn’t have any meaning.Remember your Creator. Remember him while you are still young. Think about him before your times of trouble come. The years will come when you will say,“ I don’t find any pleasure in them.”

“ My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me. Just as I told the Jews, so I am telling you now. You can’t come where I am going.
