Pr 4:1 Hear, ye children, the
instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
Pr 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
Pr 4:3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of
my mother.
Pr 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my
words: keep my commandments, and live.
Pr 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from
the words of my mouth.
Pr 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she
shall keep thee.
Pr 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all
thy getting get understanding.
Pr 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to
honour, when thou dost embrace her.
Pr 4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory
shall she deliver to thee.
Pr 4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life
shall be many.
Pr 4:11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right
paths.
Pr 4:12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou
runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Pr 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she
is thy life.
Pr 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of
evil men.
Pr 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Pr 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their
sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Pr 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of
violence.
Pr 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth
more and more unto the perfect day.
Pr 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they
stumble.
Pr 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Pr 4:21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of
thine heart.
Pr 4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all
their flesh.
Pr 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of
life.
Pr 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from
thee.
Pr 4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight
before thee.
Pr 4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Pr 4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from
evil. |
