that I should do thy will; my God, I would also to do it; and thy law in the midst of mine heart.
My son, if thou receivest my words, and hidest my behests with thee;

Therefore keep thyself, and thy soul busily; forget thou not the words which thine eyes have seen, and fall they not down from thine heart, in all the days of thy life. Thou shalt teach those [or them] to thy sons, and thy sons’ sons.
