1 Listen, children, to your father's instruction, and pay attention in order to gain understanding. 2 I give you sound teaching, so do not abandon my instruction. 3 When I was a son to my father, not yet strong and an only son to my mother, 4 he taught me and told me, |Let your heart fully embrace what I have to say; keep my commandments and live! 5 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget or turn aside from the words of my mouth! 6 Do not abandon her, and she will protect you. Love her, and she will watch over you. 7 Wisdom is of utmost importance, therefore get wisdom, and with all your effort work to acquire understanding. Proverbs 4:1-7, Intl. Standard Version.
