Proverbs 4:3-5

World English Bible

³ For I was a son to my father,
    tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
⁴ He taught me, and said to me:
    “Let your heart retain my words.
    Keep my commandments, and live.
⁵ Get wisdom.
    Get understanding.
    Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.
