The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 4:4-8

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

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

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

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

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