Now, my sons, listen to me, and don’t ignore what I say.
My children, listen to your father’s teaching; pay attention so you will understand.
So be careful and do not refuse to listen when God speaks. Others refused to listen to him when he warned them on earth, and they did not escape. So it will be worse for us if we refuse to listen to God who warns us from heaven.
Now, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
Don’t ever forget my words; keep them always in mind.
My child, hold on to wisdom and good sense. Don’t let them out of your sight.
I haven’t walked away from your laws, because you yourself are my teacher.
