1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding.
2For I give you good doctrine, Forsake you not my law.
3For I was my father’s son, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: Keep my commandments, and live.
5Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 4
