Proverbs 4:6

For I was a son to my father,

tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.

He taught me, and said to me:

“Let your heart retain my words.

Keep my commandments, and live.

Get wisdom.

Get understanding.

Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

Wisdom is supreme.

Get wisdom.

Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

Esteem her, and she will exalt you.

She will bring you to honor when you embrace her.

She will give to your head a garland of grace.

She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.”
