- Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or turn away from them. - The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding. - Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many. - I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths. - My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart. - Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it. - Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips. - Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you. - Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways. - Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.Next verse!With image
