1 Heare, O ye children, the instruction of a father, and giue eare to learne vnderstanding. 2 For I doe giue you a good doctrine: therefore forsake yee not my lawe. 3 For I was my fathers sonne, tender and deare in the sight of my mother, 4 When he taught me, and sayde vnto me, Let thine heart holde fast my woordes: keepe my commandements, and thou shalt liue. 5 Get wisedom: get vnderstading: forget not, neither decline from the woordes of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and shee shall keepe thee: loue her and shee shall preserue thee. 7 Wisedome is the beginning: get wisedome therefore: and aboue all thy possession get vnderstanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honour, if thou embrace her. Proverbs 4:1-8, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
