Provérbios 4

The Father’s Wisdom

1 Children, listen to the instruction of a father,

and be attentive in order to know insight.

2 For I have given you good instruction;

do not forsake my teaching.

3 When I was a son to my father,

tender and alone before my mother,

4 he taught me and said to me,

"May your heart hold fast to my words;

guard my commandments and live.

5 Get wisdom and insight;

do not forget and do not turn from the sayings of my mouth.

6 Do not forsake her—then she will guard you;

love her and she will keep you.
