Proverbs 4:3-6

³For why and I was the son of my father, a tender son, and one begotten, before my mother.

⁴And my father taught me, and said, Thine heart receive my words; keep thou my behests, 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; love thou it, and it shall keep thee.
