Provérbios 4

1 Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and discover what makes sense, 2 for what I am passing on to you is reliable. Don’t reject my teachings. 3 When I was a son with my father—a tender young boy, my mother’s only child— 4 he was the one who taught me. He told me, "Pay attention to the words I say and keep them in mind; do what I tell you and you will live. 5 Get wisdom, find out what makes sense. Don’t forget my words or reject them.

6 Don’t give up on wisdom for she will keep you safe. Love wisdom and she will protect you.
