Proverbs 4 Verses
1
|
Listen, children, to a father's instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment. |
2
|
Because I give you good instruction, do not forsake my teaching. |
3
|
When I was a son to my father, a tender only child before my mother, |
4
|
he taught me, and he said to me: "Let your heart lay hold of my words; keep my commands so that you will live. |
5
|
Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding; do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak. |
6
|
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will guard you. |
7
|
Wisdom is supreme— so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding! |
8
|
Esteem her highly and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. |
9
|
She will place a fair garland on your head; she will bestow a beautiful crown on you." |
10
|
Listen, my child, and accept my words, so that the years of your life will be many. |
11
|
I will guide you in the way of wisdom and I will lead you in upright paths. |
12
|
When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, and when you run, you will not stumble. |
13
|
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; protect it, because it is your life. |
14
|
Do not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of those who are evil. |
15
|
Avoid it, do not go on it; turn away from it, and go on. |
16
|
For they cannot sleep unless they cause harm; they are robbed of sleep until they make someone stumble. |
17
|
For they eat bread gained from wickedness and drink wine obtained from violence. |
18
|
But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day. |
19
|
The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness; they do not know what causes them to stumble. |
20
|
My child, pay attention to my words; listen attentively to my sayings. |
21
|
Do not let them depart from your sight, guard them within your heart; |
22
|
for they are life to those who find them and healing to one's entire body. |
23
|
Guard your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the sources of life. |
24
|
Remove perverse speech from your mouth; keep devious talk far from your lips. |
25
|
Let your eyes look directly in front of you and let your gaze look straight before you. |
26
|
Make the path for your feet level, so that all your ways may be established. |
27
|
Do not turn to the right or to the left; turn yourself away from evil. |
