King James Strong Number Version » Proverbs » Chapter 4
1
Hear, [8085] ye children, [1121] the instruction [4148] of a father, [0001] and attend [7181] to know [3045] understanding. [0998]
2
For I give [5414] you good [2896] doctrine, [3948] forsake [5800] ye not my law. [8451]
3
For I was my father's [0001] son, [1121] tender [7390] and only [3173] [beloved] in the sight [6440] of my mother. [0517]
4
He taught [3384] me also, and said [0559] unto me, Let thine heart [3820] retain [8551] my words: [1697] keep [8104] my commandments, [4687] and live. [2421]
5
Get [7069] wisdom, [2451] get [7069] understanding: [0998] forget [7911] [it] not; neither decline [5186] from the words [0561] of my mouth. [6310]
6
Forsake [5800] her not, and she shall preserve [8104] thee: love [0157] her, and she shall keep [5341] thee.
7
Wisdom [2451] [is] the principal thing; [7225] [therefore] get [7069] wisdom: [2451] and with all thy getting [7075] get [7069] understanding. [0998]
8
Exalt [5549] her, and she shall promote [7311] thee: she shall bring thee to honour, [3513] when thou dost embrace [2263] her.
9
She shall give [5414] to thine head [7218] an ornament [3880] of grace: [2580] a crown [5850] of glory [8597] shall she deliver [4042] to thee.
10
Hear, [8085] O my son, [1121] and receive [3947] my sayings; [0561] and the years [8141] of thy life [2416] shall be many. [7235]
11
I have taught [3384] thee in the way [1870] of wisdom; [2451] I have led [1869] thee in right [3476] paths. [4570]
12
When thou goest, [3212] thy steps [6806] shall not be straitened; [3334] and when thou runnest, [7323] thou shalt not stumble. [3782]
13
Take fast hold [2388] of instruction; [4148] let [her] not go: [7503] keep [5341] her; for she [is] thy life. [2416]
14
Enter [0935] not into the path [0734] of the wicked, [7563] and go [0833] not in the way [1870] of evil [7451] [men].
15
Avoid [6544] it, pass [5674] not by it, turn [7847] from it, and pass away. [5674]
16
For they sleep [3462] not, except they have done mischief; [7489] and their sleep [8142] is taken away, [1497] unless they cause [some] to fall. [3782][3782]
17
For they eat [3898] the bread [3899] of wickedness, [7562] and drink [8354] the wine [3196] of violence. [2555]
18
But the path [0734] of the just [6662] [is] as the shining [5051] light, [0216] that shineth [0215] more and more [1980] unto the perfect [3559] day. [3117]
19
The way [1870] of the wicked [7563] [is] as darkness: [0653] they know [3045] not at what they stumble. [3782]
20
My son, [1121] attend [7181] to my words; [1697] incline [5186] thine ear [0241] unto my sayings. [0561]
21
Let them not depart [3868] from thine eyes; [5869] keep [8104] them in the midst [8432] of thine heart. [3824]
22
For they [are] life [2416] unto those that find [4672] them, and health [4832] to all their flesh. [1320]
23
Keep [5341] thy heart [3820] with all diligence; [4929] for out of it [are] the issues [8444] of life. [2416]
24
Put away [5493] from thee a froward [6143] mouth, [6310] and perverse [3891] lips [8193] put far [7368] from thee.
25
Let thine eyes [5869] look [5027] right on, [5227] and let thine eyelids [6079] look straight [3474] before thee.
26
Ponder [6424] the path [4570] of thy feet, [7272] and let all thy ways [1870] be established. [3559]
27
Turn [5186] not to the right hand [3225] nor to the left: [8040] remove [5493] thy foot [7272] from evil. [7451]

"What is the cause of the mourning (Zechariah 12:10)? It is well according to him who
explains that the cause is the slaying of Messiah, the son of Joseph, as it is written, 'And
they shall look upon me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one
mourneth for his only son.'"

[Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 52a]
