1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

2For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

3For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

4He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

5Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

6Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

7Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 3 sermons on this verse. Show what the brothers said.

    9She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

    10Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

    11I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

    12When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

    13Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

    14Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men .

    15Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

    16For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
