A Chapter a Day - The Book of Proverbs Chapter 4Wisdom Is Supreme 1 Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; 2 I give you sound learning, 3 When I was a boy in my father's house, 4 he taught me and said, 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; 6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; 7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you; 9 She will set a garland of grace on your head 10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, 11 I guide you in the way of wisdom 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; 13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; 14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; 16 For they cannot sleep till they do evil; 17 They eat the bread of wickedness 18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, 19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; 20 My son, pay attention to what I say; 21 Do not let them out of your sight, 22 for they are life to those who find them 23 Above all else, guard your heart, 24 Put away perversity from your mouth; 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, 26 Make level paths for your feet 27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; |
