Proverbs 4:1-13 (BSB) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.

2

For I give you sound teaching; do not abandon my directive.

3

When I was a son to my father, tender and the only child of my mother,

4

he taught me and said, “Let your heart lay hold of my words; keep my commands and you will live.

5

Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn from them.

6

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will guard you.

7

Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding.

8

Prize her, and she will exalt you; if you embrace her, she will honor you.

9

She will set a garland of grace on your head; she will present you with a crown of beauty.”

10

Listen, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life will be many.

11

I will guide you in the way of wisdom; I will lead you on straight paths.

12

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded; when you run, you will not stumble.

13

Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life.
