Proverbs 4
- 1 Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.
- 2 For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not.
- 3 For, a son I have been to my father--tender, And an only one before my mother.
- 4 And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.
- 5 Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.
- 6 Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and she doth keep thee.
-
7 The first thing
is wisdom--get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding. - 8 Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.
- 9 She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.
-
10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life
are multiplied to thee. - 11 In a way of wisdom I have directed thee, I have caused thee to tread in paths of uprightness.
- 12 In thy walking thy step is not straitened, And if thou runnest, thou stumblest not.
-
13 Lay hold on instruction, do not desist, Keep her, for she
is thy life. - 14 Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers.
- 15 Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on.
-
16 For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not
some to stumble. - 17 For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And wine of violence they drink.
-
18 And the path of the righteous
is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established, -
19 The way of the wicked
is as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble. - 20 My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear,
- 21 Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart.
-
22 For life they
are to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing. -
23 Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it
are the outgoings of life. - 24 Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee,
- 25 Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee.
-
26 Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways
are established. -
27 Incline not
to the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!
