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.
