Proverbs 4

1Hear, mysons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:

2For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.

3For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

4And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

5Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
