Proverbs 4:3-7

³For I was a son to my father, a gentle and an only one to my mother.

⁴And he gave me teaching, saying to me, Keep my words in your heart; keep my rules so that you may have life:

⁵Get wisdom, get true knowledge; keep it in memory, do not be turned away from the words of my mouth.

⁶Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.

⁷The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.
