Proverbs 4 1 Hear , ye children , the instruction of a father , and attend to know understanding . Copy 2 For I give you good doctrine , forsake ye not my law . Copy 3 For I was my father’s son , tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother . Copy 4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words : keep my commandments , and live . Copy 5 Get wisdom , get understanding : forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth . Copy 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Copy 7 Wisdom is the principal thing ; therefore get wisdom : and with all thy getting get understanding . Copy 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour , when thou dost embrace her. Copy 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace : a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Copy 10 Hear , O my son , and receive my sayings ; and the years of thy life shall be many . Copy 11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom ; I have led thee in right paths . Copy 12 When thou goest , thy steps shall not be straitened ; and when thou runnest , thou shalt not stumble . Copy 13 Take fast hold of instruction ; let her not go : keep her; for she is thy life . Copy 14 Enter not into the path of the wicked , and go not in the way of evil men. Copy 15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away . Copy 16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief ; and their sleep is taken away , unless they cause some to fall . Copy 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness , and drink the wine of violence . Copy 18 But the path of the just is as the shining light , that shineth more and more unto the perfect day . Copy 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness : they know not at what they stumble . Copy 20 My son , attend to my words ; incline thine ear unto my sayings . Copy 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes ; keep them in the midst of thine heart . Copy 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh . Copy 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence ; for out of it are the issues of life . Copy 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth , and perverse lips put far from thee. Copy 25 Let thine eyes look right on , and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Copy 26 Ponder the path of thy feet , and let all thy ways be established . Copy 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left : remove thy foot from evil . Copy
