A Father’s Instruction

Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;

pay attention and gain understanding.

For I give you sound teaching;

do not abandon my directive.

When I was a son to my father,

tender and the only child of my mother,

he taught me and said,

“Let your heart lay hold of my words;

keep my commands and you will live.1Ch 28:9

Get wisdom, get understanding;

do not forget my words or turn from them.

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will preserve you;

love her, and she will guard you.

Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom.

And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding.

Prize her, and she will exalt you;

if you embrace her, she will honor you.Dan 2:46

She will set a garland of grace on your head;

she will present you with a crown of beauty.”Pro 1:9

Listen, my son, and receive my words,

and the years of your life will be many.Pro 3:2

I will guide you in the way of wisdom;

I will lead you on straight paths.

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded;

when you run, you will not stumble.

Hold on to instruction; do not let go.

Guard it, for it is your life.

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked

or walk in the way of evildoers.Psa 1:1; Pro 1:10

Avoid it; do not travel on it.

Turn from it and pass on by.

For they cannot sleep

unless they do evil;

they are deprived of slumber

until they make someone fall.Est 6:4; Psa 36:4; Mic 2:1

For they eat the bread of wickedness

and drink the wine of violence.Pro 1:13

The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,

shining brighter and brighter until midday.Psa 97:11; Mat 5:16

But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom;

they do not know what makes them stumble.Deu 28:29; Isa 59:10

My son, pay attention to my words;

incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not lose sight of them;

keep them within your heart.

For they are life to those who find them,

and health to the whole body.Psa 19:7

Guard your heart with all diligence,

for from it flow springs of life.Mat 6:1; Heb 13:9

Put away deception from your mouth;

keep your lips from perverse speech.

Let your eyes look forward;

fix your gaze straight ahead.Job 31:1

Make a level path for your feet,

and all your ways will be sure.Heb 12:13

Do not swerve to the right or to the left;

turn your feet away from evil.Deu 5:32
