Proverbs 4 Verses
1
|
Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, |
2
|
for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. |
3
|
When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, |
4
|
he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. |
5
|
Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. |
6
|
Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. |
7
|
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. |
8
|
Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. |
9
|
She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown." |
10
|
Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. |
11
|
I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. |
12
|
When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. |
13
|
Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. |
14
|
Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil. |
15
|
Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. |
16
|
For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble. |
17
|
For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. |
18
|
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. |
19
|
The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble. |
20
|
My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. |
21
|
Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. |
22
|
For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. |
23
|
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. |
24
|
Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. |
25
|
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. |
26
|
Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. |
27
|
Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil. |
