Proverbs 4 (kjv)

Hear^H8085, ye children^H1121, the instruction^H4148 of a father^H1, and attend^H7181 to know^H3045 understanding^H998.²For I give^H5414 you good^H2896 doctrine^H3948, forsake^H5800 ye not my law^H8451.³For I was my father's^H1 son^H1121, tender^H7390 and only^H3173 beloved in the sight^H6440 of my mother^H517.⁴He taught^H3384 me also, and said^H559 unto me, Let thine heart^H3820 retain^H8551 my words^H1697: keep^H8104 my commandments^H4687, and live^H2421.⁵Get^H7069 wisdom^H2451, get^H7069 understanding^H998: forget^H7911 it not; neither decline^H5186 from the words^H561 of my mouth^H6310.⁶Forsake^H5800 her not, and she shall preserve^H8104 thee: love^H157 her, and she shall keep^H5341 thee.⁷Wisdom^H2451 is the principal thing^H7225; therefore get^H7069 wisdom^H2451: and with all thy getting^H7075 get understanding^H998.⁸Exalt^H5549 her, and she shall promote^H7311 thee: she shall bring thee to honour^H3513, when thou dost embrace^H2263 her.⁹She shall give^H5414 to thine head^H7218 an ornament^H3880 of grace^H2580: a crown^H5850 of glory^H8597 shall she deliver^H4042 to thee.¹⁰Hear^H8085, O my son^H1121, and receive^H3947 my sayings^H561; and the years^H8141 of thy life^H2416 shall be many^H7235.¹¹I have taught^H3384 thee in the way^H1870 of wisdom^H2451; I have led^H1869 thee in right^H3476 paths^H4570.¹²When thou goest^H3212, thy steps^H6806 shall not be straitened^H3334; and when thou runnest^H7323, thou shalt not stumble^H3782.¹³Take fast hold^H2388 of instruction^H4148; let her not go^H7503: keep^H5341 her; for she is thy life^H2416.

¹⁴Enter^H935 not into the path^H734 of the wicked^H7563, and go^H833 not in the way^H1870 of evil^H7451 men.¹⁵Avoid^H6544 it, pass^H5674 not by it, turn^H7847 from it, and pass away^H5674.¹⁶For they sleep^H3462 not, except they have done mischief^H7489; and their sleep^H8142 is taken away^H1497, unless they cause some to fall^{H3782 H3782}.¹⁷For they eat^H3898 the bread^H3899 of wickedness^H7562, and drink^H8354 the wine^H3196 of violence^H2555.¹⁸But the path^H734 of the just^H6662 is as the shining^H5051 light^H216, that shineth^H215 more^H1980 and more unto the perfect^H3559 day^H3117.¹⁹The way^H1870 of the wicked^H7563 is as darkness^H653: they know^H3045 not at what they stumble^H3782.

²⁰My son^H1121, attend^H7181 to my words^H1697; incline^H5186 thine ear^H241 unto my sayings^H561.²¹Let them not depart^H3868 from thine eyes^H5869; keep^H8104 them in the midst^H8432 of thine heart^H3824.²²For they are life^H2416 unto those that find^H4672 them, and health^H4832 to all their flesh^H1320.²³Keep^H5341 thy heart^H3820 with all diligence^H4929; for out of it are the issues^H8444 of life^H2416.²⁴Put away^H5493 from thee a froward^H6143 mouth^H6310, and perverse^H3891 lips^H8193 put far^H7368 from thee.²⁵Let thine eyes^H5869 look^H5027 right on^H5227, and let thine eyelids^H6079 look straight^H3474 before thee.²⁶Ponder^H6424 the path^H4570 of thy feet^H7272, and let all thy ways^H1870 be established^H3559.²⁷Turn^H5186 not to the right hand^H3225 nor to the left^H8040: remove^H5493 thy foot^H7272 from evil^H7451.
