Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way.
Apply your heart unto instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them to your sons, and your sons' sons;
