1 Hear, my sons, the discipline of a father, and pay attention to know understanding. 2 For good teaching I have given to you?; do not forsake my instruction. 3 For I was a son to my father, tender and the only one before the face of my mother, 4 and he instructed me and said to me, “Let your heart take hold of my words; keep my commands, and live. 5 Acquire wisdom; acquire understanding! Do not forget and do not bend away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will guard you. 7 The first thing is wisdom; acquire wisdom, and in all your acquiring, acquire understanding. 8 Lift her up, and she will exalt you; she will bring you honor when you embrace her.
