Proverbs
Chapters 4:5-11
New International Version Anglicized
5Get wisdom, get understanding;do not forget my words or turn away from them.
6Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;love her, and she will watch over you.
7The beginning of wisdom is this: get wisdom.Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
8Cherish her, and she will exalt you;embrace her, and she will honour you.
9She will give you a garland to grace your headand present you with a glorious crown.’
10Listen, my son, accept what I say,and the years of your life will be many.
11I instruct you in the way of wisdomand lead you along straight paths.
