Proverbs 4:1-4
11Listen, children, to a father’s instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment.
2Because I give you good instruction, do not forsake my teaching.
3When I was a son to my father, a tender only child before my mother,
4he taught me, and he said to me: “Let your heart lay hold of my words; keep my commands so that you will live.
