Proverbs 4:1-13

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)_.

Take fast hold
<02388> (8685)

of instruction
<04148>_;

let [her] not go
<07503> (8686)_:

keep
<05341> (8798)

her; for she [is] thy life
<02416>_.
