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