Proverbs 4:4-8

Leeser(i) 4 And he instructed me, and said unto me, Let thy heart grasp firmly my words: observe my commandments and live. 5 Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding: forget not, and depart not from the sayings of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she will watch over thee: love her, and she will keep thee. 7 The beginning of wisdom is, Acquire wisdom: and with all thy acquisition acquire understanding. 8 Hold her in high esteem, and she will exalt thee: she will bring thee to honor, when thou embracest her.
