-
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
-
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
-
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
-
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
-
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
-
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
-
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
-
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
-
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
-
He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
-
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
-
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
-
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
-
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
-
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
-
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
-
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
-
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
-
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
-
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
-
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
-
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
-
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
-
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
-
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
