Proverbs 4:1-5

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

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

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

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

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