My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding,
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.
My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you.
Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
