And now, my child, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
I do not turn away from your ordinances, for you have taught me.
My child, do not let these escape from your sight: keep sound wisdom and prudence,
Listen, children, to a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight,
Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.
And now, my children, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking, for if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject the one who warns from heaven!
