Proverbs 4:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ When I was a son with my father,
    tender, and my mother’s favorite,
⁴ he taught me, and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
    keep my commandments, and live.
⁵ Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget, nor turn away
    from the words of my mouth.
