Proverbes 4:1-14
Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother.Then he taught me, and he said to me,“ Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.
