But now, sons, listen to me, and do not turn away from what I say to you.
Sons, listen to ⌞your⌟ father’s discipline, and pay attention in order to gain understanding.
Be careful that you do not refuse to listen when God speaks. Your ancestors didn’t escape when they refused to listen to God, who warned them on earth. We certainly won’t escape if we turn away from God, who warns us from heaven.
Now, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words from my mouth.
Do not lose sight of these things. Keep them deep within your heart
My son, do not lose sight of these things. Use priceless wisdom and foresight.
I have not neglected your regulations, because you have taught me.
