and treasure up my commandments with you,

Proverbs 4

A Father’s Wise Instruction

1 ^qHear, O sons, a father’s instruction,
and be attentive, that you may ^rgain ▼

▼Hebrew know

insight,
2for I give you good ^tprecepts;
do not forsake my teaching.
3When I was a son with my father,
^utender, ^vthe only one in the sight of my mother,
4he ^wtaught me and said to me,
^x“Let your heart hold fast my words;
^ykeep my commandments, and live.
5 ^zGet wisdom; get ^aainsight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
6Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
^ablove her, and she will guard you.
7 ^acThe beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get ^adinsight.
8Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;
she will ^aehonor you ^afif you embrace her.
9She will place on your head ^aga graceful garland;
she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”
10 ^ahHear, ^aimy son, and accept my words,
that ^ajthe years of your life may be many.
11I have ^aktaught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
12When you walk, ^alyour step will not be hampered,
and ^amif you run, you will not stumble.
13 ^anKeep hold of instruction; do not let go;
guard her, for she is your ^aolife.
14 ^apDo not enter the path of the wicked,
and do not walk in the way of the evil.
15Avoid it; do not go on it;
turn away from it and pass on.
16For they ^aqcannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
17For they eat the bread of wickedness
^arand drink the wine of violence.
18But ^asthe path of the righteous is like ^atthe light of dawn,
which shines ^aubrighter and brighter until ^avfull day.
19 ^awThe way of the wicked is like deep ^axdarkness;
they do not know over what they ^aystumble.
20 ^azMy son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
21 ^baLet them not escape from your sight;
^bbkeep them within your heart.
22For they are ^bclife to those who find them,
and healing to all their ▼

▼Hebrew his

flesh.
23Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for ^befrom it flow ^bfthe springs of life.
24Put away from you ^bgcrooked speech,
and put ^bhdevious talk far from you.
25 ^biLet your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you.
26 ^bjPonder ▼

▼Or Make level

the path of your feet;
^blthen all your ways will be sure.
27 ^bmDo not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil.

Isaiah 38:19

19The living, the living, he thanks you,
as I do this day;
^bnthe father makes known to the children
your faithfulness.
