Listen to the Father's Instruction
Proverbs 4:1-9
1
Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
2
for I give you sound learning. Don’t forsake my law.
3
For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
4
He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
5
Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth.
6
Don’t forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you.
7
Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
8
Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.
9
She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.”
