A Father’s Instruction
1Listen, my sons, to the instruction of a father, And pay attention so that you may gain understanding,
2For I give you good teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.
3When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,
4He taught me and said to me, “Let your heart take hold of my words; Keep my commandments and live;
5Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 4:1-5 (NASB)
