    Proverbs 4
    • 1   Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
    • 2   for I give you sound learning. Don’t forsake my law.
    • 3   For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
    • 4   He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
    • 5   Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth.
    • 6   Don’t forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you.
    • 7   Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
    • 8   Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.
    • 9   She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.”
    • 10   Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.
    • 11   I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths.
    • 12   When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.
    • 13   Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.
    • 14   Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.
    • 15   Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.
    • 16   For they don’t sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
    • 17   For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
    • 18   But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.
    • 19   The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.
    • 20   My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.
    • 21   Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart.
    • 22   For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.
    • 23   Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.
    • 24   Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.
    • 25   Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.
    • 26   Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.
    • 27   Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.
