Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.

My sons, listen to a father’s teaching. Pay attention and gain understanding.

Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight,

My children, listen when your father corrects you. Pay attention and learn good judgment,

Listen, sons, to a father’s discipline, and pay attention so that you may gain understanding,

Listen, my sons, to the instruction of a father, And pay attention so that you may gain understanding,

Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:

Listen, my sons, to a father’s discipline, and pay attention so that you may gain understanding,

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

Listen, children, to a father’s instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment.

Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;

My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother;

as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you,So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding,If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures;Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.

Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

“ Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the Lord;But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.”

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days.

Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;

My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding,

Say to wisdom,“ You are my sister,” And call understanding your nearest kin,

My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
