 | 4:1 | Hear,8085 ye children,1121 the instruction4148 of a father,1 and attend7181 to know3045 understanding.998 |
| 4:2 | For I give5414 you good2896 doctrine,3948 forsake5800 ye not my law.8451 |
| 4:3 | For I was my father's1 son,1121 tender7390 and only3173 beloved in the sight6440 of my mother.517 |
| 4:4 | He taught3384 me also, and said559 unto me, Let thine heart3820 retain8551 my words:1697 keep8104 my commandments,4687 and live.2421 |
| 4:5 | Get7069 wisdom,2451 get7069 understanding:998 forget7911 it not; neither decline5186 from the words561 of my mouth.6310 |
| 4:6 | Forsake5800 her not, and she shall preserve8104 thee: love157 her, and she shall keep5341 thee. |
| 4:7 | Wisdom2451 is the principal thing;7225 therefore get7069 wisdom:2451 and with all thy getting7075 get7069 understanding.998 |
| 4:8 | Exalt5549 her, and she shall promote7311 thee: she shall bring thee to honour,3513 when thou dost embrace2263 her. |
| 4:9 | She shall give5414 to thine head7218 an ornament3880 of grace:2580 a crown5850 of glory8597 shall she deliver4042 to thee. |
| 4:10 | Hear,8085 O my son,1121 and receive3947 my sayings;561 and the years8141 of thy life2416 shall be many.7235 |
| 4:11 | I have taught3384 thee in the way1870 of wisdom;2451 I have led1869 thee in right3476 paths.4570 |
| 4:12 | When thou goest,3212 thy steps6806 shall not be straitened;3334 and when thou runnest,7323 thou shalt not stumble.3782 |
| 4:13 | Take fast hold2388 of instruction;4148 let her not go:7503 keep5341 her; for she is thy life.2416 |
| 4:14 | Enter935 not into the path734 of the wicked,7563 and go833 not in the way1870 of evil7451 men. |
| 4:15 | Avoid6544 it, pass5674 not by it, turn7847 from it, and pass away.5674 |
| 4:16 | For they sleep3462 not, except they have done mischief;7489 and their sleep8142 is taken away,1497 unless they cause some to fall.3782 |
| 4:17 | For they eat3898 the bread3899 of wickedness,7562 and drink8354 the wine3196 of violence.2555 |
| 4:18 | But the path734 of the just6662 is as the shining5051 light,216 that shineth215 more and more1980 unto the perfect3559 day.3117 |
| 4:19 | The way1870 of the wicked7563 is as darkness:653 they know3045 not at what they stumble.3782 |
| 4:20 | My son,1121 attend7181 to my words;1697 incline5186 thine ear241 unto my sayings.561 |
| 4:21 | Let them not depart3868 from thine eyes;5869 keep8104 them in the midst8432 of thine heart.3824 |
| 4:22 | For they are life2416 unto those that find4672 them, and health4832 to all their flesh.1320 |
| 4:23 | Keep5341 thy heart3820 with all diligence;4929 for out of it are the issues8444 of life.2416 |
| 4:24 | Put away5493 from thee a froward6143 mouth,6310 and perverse3891 lips8193 put far7368 from thee. |
| 4:25 | Let thine eyes5869 look5027 right on,5227 and let thine eyelids6079 look straight3474 before thee. |
| 4:26 | Ponder6424 the path4570 of thy feet,7272 and let all thy ways1870 be established.3559 |
| 4:27 | Turn5186 not to the right hand3225 nor to the left:8040 remove5493 thy foot7272 from evil.7451 |
