Proverbs 4:1-5

"Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding;"

"For I give you good doctrine: do not forsake my law."

"When I was with my father's son, tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,"

"He also taught me, and said to me, 'Let your heart retain my words; keep my commands and live."

"Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.' "
