Proverbs 4:3-9
3For I was my father’sH1 sonH1121, tenderH7390 and onlyH3173 beloved in the sightH6440 of my motherH517.
4He taughtH3384 me also, and saidH559 unto me, Let thine heartH3820 retainH8551 my wordsH1697: keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and liveH2421.
5GetH7069 wisdomH2451, getH7069 understandingH998: forgetH7911 it not; neither declineH5186 from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
6ForsakeH5800 her not, and she shall preserveH8104 thee: loveH157 her, and she shall keepH5341 thee.
7WisdomH2451 is the principal thingH7225; therefore getH7069 wisdomH2451: and with all thy gettingH7075 get understandingH998.
8ExaltH5549 her, and she shall promoteH7311 thee: she shall bring thee to honourH3513, when thou dost embraceH2263 her.
9She shall giveH5414 to thine headH7218 an ornamentH3880 of graceH2580: a crownH5850 of gloryH8597 shall she deliverH4042 to thee.1
