Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
For this ought we to hold above measure to the things heard, lest we slip away.
Come, ye sons, hear to me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the law of thy mother:
Incline thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and thou shalt set thy heart to my knowledge.
My son, attend to my wisdom; incline thine ear to understanding:
Hear counsel and receive instruction, so that thou shalt be wise in thy latter state.
Say to wisdom, Thou my sister; and thou shalt call knowledge to understanding:
To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
And we will hear to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab our father, for all which he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;
Be gathered together, and hear ye sons of Jacob, and hear to Israel your father.
A wise son the instruction of a father: and he. mocking heard not reproof.
