Proverbs 4:4-10

⁴who spoke and instructed me, saying, Let our speech be fixed in thine heart, keep our commandments, forget them not:

⁵and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.

⁶And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee.

⁸Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee;

⁹that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight.

¹⁰Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.
