Proverbs 4:3-5
The Voice

3 Back when I was young—the very image of my father,
    and yet from my mother’s view, still her only boy—
4 My father, with his years of experience, became my teacher.

Father: Son, grab on to every word I say to you—hold them close—
        stay true to my instructions as you live, and they will serve you well.
5     Whatever it takes to gain Wisdom, do it.
        To gain understanding, do it! Never forget this!
        Never stray from what I am telling you.

New International Version

3 For I too was a son to my father,
    still tender, and cherished by my mother.
4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,
    “Take hold(A) of my words with all your heart;
    keep my commands, and you will live.(B)
5 Get wisdom,(C) get understanding;
    do not forget my words or turn away from them.
