Provérbios 4

1 Hear, you sons, the instruction of a father, || And give attention to know understanding. 2 For I have given to you good learning, do not forsake my law. 3 For I have been a son to my father—tender, || And an only one before my mother. 4 And he directs me, and he says to me: "Let your heart retain my words, || Keep my commands, and live. 5 Get wisdom, get understanding, || Do not forget, nor turn away || From the sayings of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she preserves you, || Love her, and she keeps you.
