Proverbs 4:1-9
Get Wisdom at Any Cost
My sons, listen to a father’s teaching.
Pay attention and gain understanding.
I give you good advice.
So don’t turn away from what I teach you.
I, too, was once a young boy in my father’s house.
And my mother loved me deeply.
Then my father taught me.
He said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart.
Keep my commands, and you will live.
Get wisdom, and get understanding.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.
Stay close to wisdom, and she will keep you safe.
Love her, and she will watch over you.
To start being wise you must first get wisdom.
No matter what it costs, get understanding.
Value wisdom highly, and she will lift you up.
Hold her close, and she will honor you.
She will set a beautiful crown on your head.
She will give you a glorious crown.”
