Provérbios 4

1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend that you may know prudence. 2 I will give you a good gift, forsake not my law. 3 For I also was my father’s son, tender and as an only son in the sight of my mother: 4 And he taught me, and said: Let thy heart receive my words, keep my commandments, and thou shalt live. 5 Get wisdom, get prudence: forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall keep thee: love her, and she shall preserve thee.
