Proverbs 4:9-14

⁹that it may give to your head a crown of graces, and may cover you with a crown of delight.

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

¹¹For I teach you the ways of wisdom; and I cause you to go in right paths.

¹²For when you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you run, you shall not be distressed.

¹³Take hold of my instruction; let it not go, —but keep it for yourself for your life.

¹⁴Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.
