Proverbs 4:1-27

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye children
<01121>_,

the instruction
<04148>

of a father
<01>_,

and attend
<07181> (8685)

to know
<03045> (8800)

understanding
<0998>_.

For I give
<05414> (8804)

you good
<02896>

doctrine
<03948>_,

forsake
<05800> (8799)

ye not my law
<08451>_.

For I was my father's
<01>

son
<01121>_,

tender
<07390>

and only
<03173>

[beloved] in the sight
<06440>

of my mother
<0517>_.

He taught
<03384> (8686)

me also, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Let thine heart
<03820>

retain
<08551> (8799)

my words
<01697>_:

keep
<08104> (8798)

my commandments
<04687>_,

and live
<02421> (8798)_.

Get
<07069> (8798)

wisdom
<02451>_,

get
<07069> (8798)

understanding
<0998>_:

forget
<07911> (8799)

[it] not; neither decline
<05186> (8799)

from the words
<0561>

of my mouth
<06310>_.

Forsake
<05800> (8799)

her not, and she shall preserve
<08104> (8799)

thee: love
<0157> (8798)

her, and she shall keep
<05341> (8799)

thee.

Wisdom
<02451>

[is] the principal thing
<07225>_;

[therefore] get
<07069> (8798)

wisdom
<02451>_:

and with all thy getting
<07075>

get understanding
<0998>_.

Exalt
<05549> (8769)

her, and she shall promote
<07311> (8787)

thee: she shall bring thee to honour
<03513> (8762)_,

when thou dost embrace
<02263> (8762)

her.

She shall give
<05414> (8799)

to thine head
<07218>

an ornament
<03880>

of grace
<02580>_:

a crown
<05850>

of glory
<08597>

shall she deliver
<04042> (8762)

to thee. {a crown...: or, she shall compass thee with a crown of glory}

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O my son
<01121>_,

and receive
<03947> (8798)

my sayings
<0561>_;

and the years
<08141>

of thy life
<02416>

shall be many
<07235> (8799)_.

I have taught
<03384> (8689)

thee in the way
<01870>

of wisdom
<02451>_;

I have led
<01869> (8689)

thee in right
<03476>

paths
<04570>_.

When thou goest
<03212> (8800)_,

thy steps
<06806>

shall not be straitened
<03334> (8799)_;

and when thou runnest
<07323> (8799)_,

thou shalt not stumble
<03782> (8735)_.

Take fast hold
<02388> (8685)

of instruction
<04148>_;

let [her] not go
<07503> (8686)_:

keep
<05341> (8798)

her; for she [is] thy life
<02416>_.

Enter
<0935> (8799)

not into the path
<0734>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

and go
<0833> (8762)

not in the way
<01870>

of evil
<07451>

[men].

Avoid
<06544> (8798)

it, pass
<05674> (8799)

not by it, turn
<07847> (8798)

from it, and pass away
<05674> (8798)_.

For they sleep
<03462> (8799)

not, except they have done mischief
<07489> (8686)_;

and their sleep
<08142>

is taken away
<01497> (8738)_,

unless they cause [some] to fall
<03782> (8686) (8675) <03782> (8799)_.

For they eat
<03898> (8804)

the bread
<03899>

of wickedness
<07562>_,

and drink
<08354> (8799)

the wine
<03196>

of violence
<02555>_.

But the path
<0734>

of the just
<06662>

[is] as the shining
<05051>

light
<0216>_,

that shineth
<0215> (8804)

more
<01980> (8802)

and more unto the perfect
<03559> (8737)

day
<03117>_.

The way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] as darkness
<0653>_:

they know
<03045> (8804)

not at what they stumble
<03782> (8735)_.

My son
<01121>_,

attend
<07181> (8685)

to my words
<01697>_;

incline
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>

unto my sayings
<0561>_.

Let them not depart
<03868> (8686)

from thine eyes
<05869>_;

keep
<08104> (8798)

them in the midst
<08432>

of thine heart
<03824>_.

For they [are] life
<02416>

unto those that find
<04672> (8802)

them, and health
<04832>

to all their flesh
<01320>_.

{health: Heb. medicine}

Keep
<05341> (8798)

thy heart
<03820>

with all diligence
<04929>_;

for out of it [are] the issues
<08444>

of life
<02416>_.

{with...: Heb. above all keeping}

Put away
<05493> (8685)

from thee a froward
<06143>

mouth
<06310>_,

and perverse
<03891>

lips
<08193>

put far
<07368> (8685)

from thee. {a froward...: Heb. frowardness of mouth and perverseness of lips}

Let thine eyes
<05869>

look
<05027> (8686)

right on
<05227>_,

and let thine eyelids
<06079>

look straight
<03474> (8686)

before thee.

Ponder
<06424> (8761)

the path
<04570>

of thy feet
<07272>_,

and let all thy ways
<01870>

be established
<03559> (8735)_.

{let...: or, all thy ways shall be ordered aright}

Turn
<05186> (8799)

not to the right hand
<03225>

nor to the left
<08040>_:

remove
<05493> (8685)

thy foot
<07272>

from evil
<07451>_.
