Listen to the Father's Instruction

Proverbs 4:1-9

Heare, O ye children, the instruction of a father, and giue eare to learne vnderstanding.

For I doe giue you a good doctrine: therefore forsake yee not my lawe.

For I was my fathers sonne, tender and deare in the sight of my mother,

When he taught me, and sayde vnto me, Let thine heart holde fast my woordes: keepe my commandements, and thou shalt liue.

Get wisedom: get vnderstading: forget not, neither decline from the woordes of my mouth.

Forsake her not, and shee shall keepe thee: loue her and shee shall preserue thee.

Wisedome is the beginning: get wisedome therefore: and aboue all thy possession get vnderstanding.

Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honour, if thou embrace her.

She shall giue a comely ornamet vnto thine head, yea, she shall giue thee a crowne of glorie.
