Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding;
See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,
Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;
My son, let them not depart from your eyes— Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
I have not departed from Your judgments, For You Yourself have taught me.
