Proverbs 4:3-5

Amplified Bible

³
When I was a son with my father (David),
Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother (Bathsheba),
⁴
He taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
Keep my commandments and live.^(A)
⁵
“Get [skillful and godly] wisdom! Acquire understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
