Proverbs 4:4-13
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.
10HearH8085, O my sonH1121, and receiveH3947 my sayingsH561; and the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH2416 shall be manyH7235.
11I have taughtH3384 thee in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451; I have ledH1869 thee in pathsH4570 of uprightnessH3476.
12When thou goest, thy stepsH6806 shall notH3808 be straitened; and ifH518 thou runnest, thou shalt notH3808 stumbleH3782.
13TakeH2388 fastH2388 holdH2388 of instructionH4148; letH7503 herH3588 notH408 goH7503: keepH5341 herH3588; for sheH1931 is thy lifeH2416.
