Proverbs 4:1-9
1HearH8085, my sonsH1121, the instructionH4148 of a fatherH1, and attend to knowH3045 understandingH998:
2For I giveH5414 youH3588 goodH2896 doctrine; forsakeH5800 ye notH408 my lawH8451.
3For I was a sonH1121 unto my fatherH1, tenderH7390 and onlyH3173 beloved in the sightH6440 of my motherH517.
4And he taughtH3384 meH8104, and saidH559 unto meH8104, Let thine heartH3820 retain my wordsH1697; keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and liveH2421:
5GetH7069 wisdomH2451, getH7069 understandingH998; forgetH7911 it notH408, neitherH408 declineH5186 from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310:
6ForsakeH5800 herH8104 notH408, and she shall preserveH5341 thee; loveH157 herH8104, and she shall keepH8104 thee.
7WisdomH2451 is the principal thingH3605; therefore getH7069 wisdomH2451: yea, with allH3605 thou hast gottenH7069 getH7069 understandingH998.
8ExaltH7311 herH3588, and sheH3588 shall promoteH7311 thee: sheH3588 shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embraceH2263 herH3588.
9She shall giveH5414 to thine headH7218 a chaplet of graceH2580: a crownH5850 of beautyH8597 shall she deliverH5414 to thee.
