Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.
Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.
Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.
and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you.
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.
