1 eHear, O sons, a father’s instruction,and be attentive, that you may fgain ▼

insight,2for I give you good hprecepts;
do not forsake my teaching.
3When I was a son with my father,
itender, jthe only one in the sight of my mother,
4he ktaught me and said to me,
l“Let your heart hold fast my words;
mkeep my commandments, and live.
5 nGet wisdom; get oinsight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
6Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
plove her, and she will guard you.
7 qThe beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get rinsight.
8Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;
she will shonor you tif you embrace her.
9She will place on your head ua graceful garland;
she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”
10 vHear, wmy son, and accept my words,
that xthe years of your life may be many.
11I have ytaught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
12When you walk, zyour step will not be hampered,
and aaif you run, you will not stumble.
13 abKeep hold of instruction; do not let go;
guard her, for she is your aclife.
