Proverbs 4 Verses
1
|
Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. |
2
|
I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. |
3
|
When I was a boy in my father's house, still tender, and an only child of my mother, |
4
|
he taught me and said, "Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live. |
5
|
Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. |
6
|
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. |
7
|
Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. |
8
|
Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honour you. |
9
|
She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendour." |
10
|
Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. |
11
|
I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. |
12
|
When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. |
13
|
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. |
14
|
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. |
15
|
Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. |
16
|
For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. |
17
|
They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. |
18
|
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. |
19
|
But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. |
20
|
My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. |
21
|
Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; |
22
|
for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. |
23
|
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. |
24
|
Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. |
25
|
Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. |
26
|
Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. |
27
|
Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. |
