Proverbs 4:4-13

4And he taughtH3384 me, and saidH559 unto me, Let thy heartH3820 retain my wordsH1697; keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and liveH2421.

5Get wisdomH2451, get intelligence: forgetH7911 [it] not; neither decline from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.

6ForsakeH5800 her not, and she shall keepH8104 thee; loveH157 her, and she shall preserveH5341 thee.

7The beginning of wisdomH2451 [is], Get wisdomH2451; and with all thy getting get intelligence.

8ExaltH7311 her, and she shall promote thee; she shall bring thee to honour when thou dost embraceH2263 her.

9She shall giveH5414 to thy headH7218 a garland of graceH2580; a crownH5850 of gloryH8597 will she bestow upon thee.

10HearH8085, my sonH1121, and receiveH3947 my sayings, and the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH2416 shall be multipliedH7235.

11I will teachH3384 thee in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451, I will leadH1869 thee in paths of uprightnessH3476.

12When thou goest, thy stepsH6806 shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumbleH3782.

13TakeH2388 fast holdH2388 of instruction, let [her] not goH7503: keepH5341 her, for she is thy lifeH2416.
