Security in Wisdom

1 Hear, amy children, the instruction of a father,
And give attention to know understanding; 
2 For I give you good doctrine:
Do not forsake my law.
3 When I was my father’s son,
aTender and the only one in the sight of my mother, 
4 aHe also taught me, and said to me:
“Let your heart retain my words;
bKeep my commands, and live. 
5 aGet wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. 
6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;
aLove her, and she will keep you. 
7 aWisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding. 
8 aExalt her, and she will promote you;
She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. 
9 She will place on your head aan ornament of grace;
A crown of glory she will deliver to you.” 
10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,
aAnd the years of your life will be many. 
11 I have ataught you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in right paths. 
12 When you walk, ayour steps will not be hindered,
bAnd when you run, you will not stumble. 
13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go;
Keep her, for she is your life.
14 aDo not enter the path of the wicked,
And do not walk in the way of evil.
