³³ Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.

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

5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
^[a]Lend your ear to my understanding,

^8 (A)My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;

55 “Ho! ^(A)Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
^(B)Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
² Why do you ^[a]spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
³ Incline your ear, and ^(C)come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
^(D)And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The ^(E)sure mercies of David.
