Proverbs 4:1-9

Listen to the Father's Instruction

Proverbs 4:1-9
1
Listen, children, to a father's instruction; pay attention, in order to gain insight;
2
for I am giving you good advice; so don't abandon my teaching.
3
For I too was once a child to my father; and my mother, too, thought of me as her special darling.
4
He too taught me; he said to me, "Let your heart treasure my words; keep my commands, and live;
5
gain wisdom, gain insight; don't forget or turn from the words I am saying.
6
Don't abandon [wisdom]; then she will preserve you; love her, and she will protect you.
7
The beginning of wisdom is: get wisdom! And along with all your getting, get insight!
8
Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will bring you honor;
9
she will give your head a garland of grace, bestow on you a crown of glory."
