Proverbs 4:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only one before my mother.

⁴ And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.
