1 Hear, [O] sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding,

2 For I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.

3 When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,

4 Then he taught me and said to me, |Let your heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments and live;

5 Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

6 |Do not forsake her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you.

7 |The beginning of wisdom [is]: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding.
