HEAR, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017145">2</a>. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017146">3</a>. For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017147">4</a>. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017148">5</a>. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017149">6</a>. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017150">7</a>. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017151">8</a>. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017152">9</a>. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017153">10</a>. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017154">11</a>. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017155">12</a>. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017156">13</a>. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017157">14</a>. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017158">15</a>. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017159">16</a>. For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017160">17</a>. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017161">18</a>. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017162">19</a>. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017163">20</a>. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017164">21</a>. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017165">22</a>. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017168">25</a>. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017169">26</a>. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017170">27</a>. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.</li>
