1 Hear, you2f children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake you2f not my law.
3 For I was my father’s son, tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let youi heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve youi: love her, and she shall keep youi.
