Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 4
Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father,
And attend to know understanding:
For I give you good doctrine;
Forsake ye not my law.
For I was a son unto my father,
Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
And he taught me, and said unto me:
Let thy heart retain my words;
Keep my commandments, and live;1Ch 28:9
Get wisdom, get understanding;
Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee;
Love her, and she will keep thee.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom;
Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
Exalt her, and she will promote thee;
She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.Dan 2:46
She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace;
A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.Pro 1:9
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;
And the years of thy life shall be many.Pro 3:2
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom;
I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened;
And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go:
Keep her; for she is thy life.
Enter not into the path of the wicked,
And walk not in the way of evil men.Psa 1:1; Pro 1:10
Avoid it, pass not by it;
Turn from it, and pass on.
For they sleep not, except they do evil;
And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to 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
But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light,
That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.Psa 97:11; Mat 5:16
The way of the wicked is as darkness:
They know not at what they stumble.Deu 28:29; Isa 59:10
My son, attend to my words;
Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes;
Keep them in the midst of thy heart.
For they are life unto those that find them,
And health to all their flesh.Psa 19:7
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
For out of it are the issues of life.Mat 6:1; Heb 13:9
Put away from thee a wayward mouth,
And perverse lips put far from thee.
Let thine eyes look right on,
And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.Job 31:1
Make level the path of thy feet,
And let all thy ways be established.Heb 12:13
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
Remove thy foot from evil.Deu 5:32
