1 HEAR, O my children, the instruction of a father, and give ear to knowledge and understanding. 2 Because I give you good doctrine, do not forsake my law. 3 For I was also a son to my father, tender and the only begotten in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me, and said to me, Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live; and let my law be as the pupil of the eye. 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; and turn not aside from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will save you. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your substance get understanding. 8 Love her, and she shall exalt you; embrace her, and she shall honor you.
