Proverbs 4:3-9

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.
