Proverbs 4
- 1 Give ear, my sons, to the teaching of a father; give attention so that you may have knowledge:
- 2 For I give you good teaching; do not give up the knowledge you are getting from me.
- 3 For I was a son to my father, a gentle and an only one to my mother.
- 4 And he gave me teaching, saying to me, Keep my words in your heart; keep my rules so that you may have life:
- 5 Get wisdom, get true knowledge; keep it in memory, do not be turned away from the words of my mouth.
- 6 Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.
- 7 The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.
- 8 Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.
- 9 She will put a crown of grace on your head, giving you a head-dress of glory.
- 10 Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.
- 11 I have given you teaching in the way of wisdom, guiding your steps in the straight way.
- 12 When you go, your way will not be narrow, and in running you will not have a fall.
- 13 Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life.
- 14 Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.
- 15 Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.
- 16 For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.
- 17 The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink.
- 18 But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.
- 19 The way of sinners is dark; they see not the cause of their fall.
- 20 My son, give attention to my words; let your ear be turned to my sayings.
- 21 Let them not go from your eyes; keep them deep in your heart.
- 22 For they are life to him who gets them, and strength to all his flesh.
- 23 And keep watch over your heart with all care; so you will have life.
- 24 Put away from you an evil tongue, and let false lips be far from you.
- 25 Keep your eyes on what is in front of you, looking straight before you.
- 26 Keep a watch on your behaviour; let all your ways be rightly ordered.
- 27 Let there be no turning to the right or to the left, keep your feet from evil.
