Proverbs 4:1-8

1. 1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

2. 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

3. 3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

4. 4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

5. 5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

6. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

7. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

8. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
