Proverbs 4:4

In context

2for I give you good learning: do not abandon my teaching. 3When I was a son to my father, tender and the only one in my mother’s eyes, 4he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold on to my words; keep my commandments and live. 5Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 6Do not abandon her, and she will protect you; love her, and she will guard you.
