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 children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know 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.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;yes, if you call 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 Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.

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

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

“ Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.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 end.

Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.

My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,

Tell wisdom,“ You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
