Proverbs 4:5 Context
3For I was my fathers sonne, tender and onely beloued in the sight of my mother. 4He taught me also, and said vnto me, Let thine heart reteine my wordes: keepe my commandements, and liue. 5Get wisedome, get vnderstanding: forget it not, neither decline from the wordes of my mouth. 6Forsake her not, and she shall preserue thee: loue her, and she shall keepe thee. 7Wisedome is the principall thing, therefore get wisedome: and with all thy getting, get vnderstanding.
