4 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

¹¹ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

¹⁷ Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
