4 Hear, (A)my children, the instruction of a father,
And give attention to know understanding;

4 Listen, my sons,(A) to a father’s instruction;(B)
pay attention and gain understanding.(C)

so do not forsake my teaching.

“Take hold(D) of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will live.(E)
