2 For I give you good precepts;do not forsake my teaching.
3 For I was my father’s son,tender and the only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He also taught me and said to me,“Let your heart retain my words;keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom! Get understanding!Do not forget it, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;love her, and she will keep you.
7 Wisdom is principal; therefore get wisdom.And with all your getting, get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she will promote you;she will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
