Proverbs_Chapter 4
Children, listen to your father’s teachings and be careful to learn wisdom.
Because what I have taught you is a good lesson. Do not abandon my laws. (or as a guide)
I am a filial son in front of my father and a unique and charming child in the eyes of my mother.
My father taught me, ‘Remember my words in your heart, keep my commands, and you will live.’.
To be wise, to be wise. Do not forget, nor deviate from the words in my mouth.
Do not abandon wisdom, it will guard you. To love him, he will keep you safe.
Wisdom comes first. So we need wisdom. Within all your gains, you must be wise. (Or use all you have to exchange for intelligence)
Raise your wisdom high, and he will elevate you. Embrace wisdom, and he will make you honored.
He will put a crown on your head and give you a crown of glory.
My son, if you hear and accept my words, you will prolong your life.
I have taught you the path of wisdom and guided you in the path of righteousness.
When you walk, your steps will not be narrow. Even if you run, you won’t fall.
We must hold onto our teachings and not relax. Be vigilant, for he is your life.
The path of the wicked is not feasible. Don’t follow the path of bad people.
To avoid, do not pass by. To turn around and leave.
If these people are not evil, they cannot sleep. Not causing people to fall, sleeping restlessly.
Because they eat bread with wickedness and drink wine with violence.
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until noon.
The way of the wicked is like darkness. I don’t know why I fell.
My son, pay attention to my words and listen attentively to my words.
They cannot leave your eyes. Keep it in your heart.
Because of him, he received life and the good medicine for all.
You must guard your heart, more than anything else. Be sure to keep your heart safe, because the fruits of life come from your heart.
You must eliminate the crooked mouth and abandon the perverse mouth.
Your eyes should look straight ahead, and your eyes should be forward and intuitive.
To smooth the path under your feet and strengthen all your paths.
Do not lean to the left or right. To make your feet free from evil.
