Proverbs 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life. The path of wisdom requires the most vigorous steadfastness. Hold the lessons of wisdom with a firm and unrelaxable tenacity; grasp them as the drowning man the rope that is thrown out for his rescue. "Firmness," said Burns, "both in sufferance and exertion, is a character which I would wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint, and the cowardly, feeble resolve." (David Thomas, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.WEB: Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go.
