Proverbs

²For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law. ³For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. ⁴And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live; ⁵Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth; ⁶Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee. ⁷Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding. ⁸Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
