13 Take fast hold of instruction, let her not go; keep her, for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and walk not in the way of evil men.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the All-holy is understanding.
20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
21 Bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee, when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life;
8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
9 For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, that knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which He had wrought for Israel.
1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter dark sayings concerning days of old;
3 That which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us,
4 We will not hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding; forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
6 Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; love her, and she will keep thee.
7 The beginning of wisdom is: Get wisdom; yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Extol her, and she will exalt thee; she will bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
1 THE PROVERBS of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to comprehend the words of understanding;
3 To receive the discipline of wisdom, justice, and right, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion;
5 That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, and the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels;
6 To understand a proverb, and a figure; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.
23 Above all that thou guardest keep thy heart; for out of it are the issues of life.
24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 Make plain the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil.
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
