Proverbs 4:3-5

American Standard Version

³ For I was a son unto my father,
Tender and ^[a]only beloved in the sight of my mother.
⁴ And he taught me, and said unto me:
Let thy heart retain my words;
Keep my commandments, and live;
⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding;
Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
