Proverbs 4:1-14
Listen, my sons, to the instruction of a father, And pay attention so that you may gain understanding,For I give you good teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,He taught me and said to me,“ Let your heart take hold of my words; Keep my commandments and live;Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.Do not abandon her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you.The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your possessions, acquire understanding.Prize her, and she will exalt you; She will honor you if you embrace her.She will place on your head a garland of grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty.”Listen, my son, and accept my sayings, And the years of your life will be many.I have instructed you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in upright paths.When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; And if you run, you will not stumble.Take hold of instruction; do not let go. Guard her, for she is your life.Do not enter the path of the wicked And do not proceed in the way of evil people.
