Proverbs 4:1-5

Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.

For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not.

For, a son I have been to my father--tender, And an only one before my mother.

And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.

Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.
