4:1	Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
4:2	For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
4:3	For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4:4	He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
4:5	Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
4:6	Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
4:7	Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
4:8	Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
4:9	She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
4:10	Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
4:11	I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
4:12	When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
4:13	Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
4:14	Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
4:15	Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
4:16	For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
4:17	For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
4:18	But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
4:19	The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
4:20	My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
4:21	Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

4:26	Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
4:27	Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

4:3	For I was my fathers sonne, tender and deare in the sight of my mother,
4:4	When he taught me, and sayde vnto me, Let thine heart holde fast my woordes: keepe my commandements, and thou shalt liue.
4:5	Get wisedom: get vnderstading: forget not, neither decline from the woordes of my mouth.

4:9	She shall giue a comely ornamet vnto thine head, yea, she shall giue thee a crowne of glorie.
4:10	Heare, my sonne, and receiue my wordes, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe many.
4:11	I haue taught thee in ye way of wisedom, and led thee in the pathes of righteousnesse.
4:12	Whe thou goest, thy gate shall not be strait, and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall.

4:16	For they can not sleepe, except they haue done euill, and their sleepe departeth except they cause some to fall.
4:17	For they eate the breade of wickednesse, and drinke the wine of violence.
4:18	But the way of the righteous shineth as the light, that shineth more and more vnto the perfite day.
4:19	The way of the wicked is as the darkenes: they knowe not wherein they shall fall.
4:20	My sonne, hearken vnto my wordes, incline thine eare vnto my sayings.
4:21	Let them not depart from thine eyes, but keepe them in the middes of thine heart.
4:22	For they are life vnto those that find them, and health vnto all their flesh.
4:23	Keepe thine heart with all diligence: for thereout commeth life.
4:24	Put away from thee a froward mouth, and put wicked lippes farre from thee.
4:25	Let thine eyes beholde the right, and let thine eyelids direct thy way before thee.
4:26	Ponder the path of thy feete, and let all thy waies be ordred aright.
