- Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding,
- For I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.
- When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,
- Then he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments and live;
- Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
