Proverbs 4:3-9
New King James Version
3 When I was my father’s son,
(A)Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,
4 (B)He also taught me, and said to me:
“Let your heart retain my words;
(C)Keep my commands, and live.
5 (D)Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;
(E)Love her, and she will keep you.
7 (F)Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
8 (G)Exalt her, and she will promote you;
She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
9 She will place on your head (H)an ornament of grace;
A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”
