Proverbs 4:1-12

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye children
<01121>_,
the instruction
<04148>
of a father
<01>_,
and attend
<07181> (8685)
to know
<03045> (8800)
understanding
<0998>_.
For I give
<05414> (8804)
you good
<02896>
doctrine
<03948>_,
forsake
<05800> (8799)
ye not my law
<08451>_.
For I was my father's
<01>
son
<01121>_,
tender
<07390>
and only
<03173>
[beloved] in the sight
<06440>
of my mother
<0517>_.
He taught
<03384> (8686)
me also, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Let thine heart
<03820>
retain
<08551> (8799)
my words
<01697>_:
keep
<08104> (8798)
my commandments
<04687>_,
and live
<02421> (8798)_.
Get
<07069> (8798)
wisdom
<02451>_,
get
<07069> (8798)
understanding
<0998>_:
forget
<07911> (8799)
[it] not; neither decline
<05186> (8799)
from the words
<0561>
of my mouth
<06310>_.
Forsake
<05800> (8799)
her not, and she shall preserve
<08104> (8799)
thee: love
<0157> (8798)
her, and she shall keep
<05341> (8799)
thee.
Wisdom
<02451>
[is] the principal thing
<07225>_;
[therefore] get
<07069> (8798)
wisdom
<02451>_:
and with all thy getting
<07075>
get understanding
<0998>_.
Exalt
<05549> (8769)
her, and she shall promote
<07311> (8787)
thee: she shall bring thee to honour
<03513> (8762)_,
when thou dost embrace
<02263> (8762)
her.
She shall give
<05414> (8799)
to thine head
<07218>
an ornament
<03880>
of grace
<02580>_:
a crown
<05850>
of glory
<08597>
shall she deliver
<04042> (8762)
to thee. {a crown...: or, she shall compass thee with a crown of glory}
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O my son
<01121>_,
and receive
<03947> (8798)
my sayings
<0561>_;
and the years
<08141>
of thy life
<02416>
shall be many
<07235> (8799)_.
I have taught
<03384> (8689)
thee in the way
<01870>
of wisdom
<02451>_;
I have led
<01869> (8689)
thee in right
<03476>
paths
<04570>_.
When thou goest
<03212> (8800)_,
thy steps
<06806>
shall not be straitened
<03334> (8799)_;
and when thou runnest
<07323> (8799)_,
thou shalt not stumble
<03782> (8735)_.
