4:1	Heare, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know vnderstanding.
4:2	For I giue you good doctrine: forsake you not my law.
4:3	For I was my fathers sonne, tender and onely beloued in the sight of my mother.
4:4	He taught me also, and said vnto me, Let thine heart reteine my wordes: keepe my commandements, and liue.
4:5	Get wisedome, get vnderstanding: forget it not, neither decline from the wordes of my mouth.
4:6	Forsake her not, and she shall preserue thee: loue her, and she shall keepe thee.
4:7	Wisedome is the principall thing, therefore get wisedome: and with all thy getting, get vnderstanding.

4:9	She shall giue to thine head an ornament of grace, a crowne of glory shall she deliuer to thee.
4:10	Heare, O my sonne, and receiue my sayings: and the yeeres of thy life shalbe many.

4:13	Take fast hold of instruction, let her not goe; keepe her, for she is thy life.
4:14	Enter not into the path of the wicked, and goe not in the way of euill men.
4:15	Auoid it, passe not by it, turne from it, and passe away.
4:16	For they sleepe not except they haue done mischiefe: and their sleepe is taken away vnlesse they cause some to fall.
4:17	For they eate the bread of wickednesse, and drinke the wine of violence.
4:18	But the path of the iust is as the shining light that shineth more and more vnto the perfect day.
4:19	The way of the wicked is as darknes: they know not at what they stumble.

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.
4:6	Forsake her not, and shee shall keepe thee: loue her and shee shall preserue thee.
4:7	Wisedome is the beginning: get wisedome therefore: and aboue all thy possession get vnderstanding.
4:8	Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honour, if thou embrace her.
4:9	She shall giue a comely ornamet vnto thine head, yea, she shall giue thee a crowne of glorie.

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.
