Proverbs 4:2-6

²I shall give to you a good gift; forsake ye not my law. (I give you a good gift; do not ye abandon my instructions.)

³For why and I was the son of my father, a tender son, and one begotten, before my mother. (For I was my father’s son, a tender son, and my mother’s only child.)

⁴And my father taught me, and said, Thine heart receive my words; keep thou my behests (or obey my commands), and thou shalt live.

⁵Wield thou wisdom, wield thou prudence; forget thou not, neither bow thou away from the words of my mouth.

⁶Forsake thou not it, and it shall keep thee (safe); love thou it, and it shall keep thee (safe).
