Provérbios 4

1 Hear, ye banim, the musar (instruction, discipline) of an av,

and attend to know binah (understanding).

2 For I give you lekach tov (good doctrine, good instruction),

forsake ye not my torah.

3 For I was ben to avi,

tender and yachid (an only child) before immi.

4 He taught me also, and said unto me,

Let thine lev retain my words;

be shomer over my mitzvot, and live.

5 Acquire chochmah, acquire binah (understanding); forget it not;

neither turn from the words of my peh (mouth).

6 Forsake her not, and she shall be shomer over thee;

love her, and she shall protect thee.
