Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven:
Hearken unto me now therefore, O you children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.
My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught me.
