Proverbs 4:1-13 (DRC) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend, that you may know prudence.

2

I will give you a good gift, forsake not my law.

3

For I also was my father's son, tender, and as an only son in the sight of my mother:

4

And he taught me, and said: Let thy heart receive my words, keep my commandments, and thou shalt live.

5

Get wisdom, get prudence: forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth.

6

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

7

The beginning of wisdom, get wisdom, and with all thy possession purchase prudence.

8

Take hold on her, and she shall exalt thee: thou shalt be glorified by her, when thou shalt embrace her.

9

She shall give to thy head increase of graces, and protect thee with a noble crown.

10

Hear, O my son, and receive my words, that years of life may be multiplied to thee.

11

I will shew thee the way of wisdom, I will lead thee by the paths of equity:

12

Which when thou shalt have entered, thy steps shall not be straitened, and when thou runnest, thou shalt not meet a stumblingblock.

13

Take hold on instruction, leave it not: keep it, because it is thy life.
