Proverbs - Chapter 4

Pro 4:1	¶	Hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ , ye children ¹¹²¹, the instruction ⁴¹⁴⁸ of a father ¹, and attend ⁷¹⁸¹ to know ³⁰⁴⁵ understanding ⁹⁹⁸.
Pro 4:2		For I give ⁵⁴¹⁴ you good ²⁸⁹⁶ doctrine ³⁹⁴⁸, forsake ⁵⁸⁰⁰ ye not my law ⁸⁴⁵¹.
Pro 4:3		For I was my father's ¹ son ¹¹²¹, tender ⁷³⁹⁰ and only ³¹⁷³ [beloved] in the sight ⁶⁴⁴⁰ of my mother ⁵¹⁷.
Pro 4:4		He taught ³³⁸⁴ me also, and said ⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Let thine heart ³⁸²⁰ retain ⁸⁵⁵¹ my words ¹⁶⁹⁷: keep ⁸¹⁰⁴ my commandments ⁴⁶⁸⁷, and live ²⁴²¹ .
Pro 4:5		Get ⁷⁰⁶⁹ wisdom ²⁴⁵¹, get ⁷⁰⁶⁹ understanding ⁹⁹⁸: forget ⁷⁹¹¹ [it] not; neither decline ⁵¹⁸⁶ from the words ⁵⁶¹ of my mouth ⁶³¹⁰.
Pro 4:6		Forsake ⁵⁸⁰⁰ her not, and she shall preserve ⁸¹⁰⁴ thee: love ¹⁵⁷ her, and she shall keep ⁵³⁴¹ thee.
Pro 4:7		Wisdom ²⁴⁵¹ [is] the principal thing ⁷²²⁵; [therefore] get ⁷⁰⁶⁹ wisdom ²⁴⁵¹: and with all thy getting ⁷⁰⁷⁵ get understanding ⁹⁹⁸.
Pro 4:8		Exalt ⁵⁵⁴⁹ her, and she shall promote ⁷³¹¹ thee: she shall bring thee to honour ³⁵¹³ , when thou dost embrace ²²⁶³ her.
Pro 4:9		She shall give ⁵⁴¹⁴ to thine head ⁷²¹⁸ an ornament ³⁸⁸⁰ of grace ²⁵⁸⁰: a crown ⁵⁸⁵⁰ of glory ⁸⁵⁹⁷ shall she deliver ⁴⁰⁴² to thee.
Pro 4:10		Hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ , O my son ¹¹²¹, and receive ³⁹⁴⁷ my sayings ⁵⁶¹; and the years ⁸¹⁴¹ of thy life ²⁴¹⁶ shall be many ⁷²³⁵ .
Pro 4:11		I have taught ³³⁸⁴ thee in the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of wisdom ²⁴⁵¹; I have led ¹⁸⁶⁹ thee in right ³⁴⁷⁶ paths ⁴⁵⁷⁰.
Pro 4:12		When thou goest ³²¹² , thy steps ⁶⁸⁰⁶ shall not be straitened ³³³⁴ ; and when thou runnest ⁷³²³ , thou shalt not stumble ³⁷⁸² .
Pro 4:13		Take fast hold ²³⁸⁸ of instruction ⁴¹⁴⁸; let [her] not go ⁷⁵⁰³ : keep ⁵³⁴¹ her; for she [is] thy life ²⁴¹⁶.
Pro 4:14	¶	Enter ⁹³⁵ not into the path ⁷³⁴ of the wicked ⁷⁵⁶³, and go ⁸³³ not in the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ [men].
Pro 4:15		Avoid ⁶⁵⁴⁴ it, pass ⁵⁶⁷⁴ not by it, turn ⁷⁸⁴⁷ from it, and pass away ⁵⁶⁷⁴ .
Pro 4:16		For they sleep ³⁴⁶² not, except they have done mischief ⁷⁴⁸⁹ ; and their sleep ⁸¹⁴² is taken away ¹⁴⁹⁷ , unless they cause [some] to fall ³⁷⁸² ³⁷⁸² .
Pro 4:17		For they eat ³⁸⁹⁸ the bread ³⁸⁹⁹ of wickedness ⁷⁵⁶², and drink ⁸³⁵⁴ the wine ³¹⁹⁶ of violence ²⁵⁵⁵.
Pro 4:18		But the path ⁷³⁴ of the just ⁶⁶⁶² [is] as the shining ⁵⁰⁵¹ light ²¹⁶, that shineth ²¹⁵ more ¹⁹⁸⁰ and more unto the perfect ³⁵⁵⁹ day ³¹¹⁷.
Pro 4:19		The way ¹⁸⁷⁰ of the wicked ⁷⁵⁶³ [is] as darkness ⁶⁵³: they know ³⁰⁴⁵ not at what they stumble ³⁷⁸² .
Pro 4:20	¶	My son ¹¹²¹, attend ⁷¹⁸¹ to my words ¹⁶⁹⁷; incline ⁵¹⁸⁶ thine ear ²⁴¹ unto my sayings ⁵⁶¹.
Pro 4:21		Let them not depart ³⁸⁶⁸ from thine eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹; keep ⁸¹⁰⁴ them in the midst ⁸⁴³² of thine heart ³⁸²⁴.
Pro 4:22		For they [are] life ²⁴¹⁶ unto those that find ⁴⁶⁷² them, and health ⁴⁸³² to all their flesh ¹³²⁰.
Pro 4:23		Keep ⁵³⁴¹ thy heart ³⁸²⁰ with all diligence ⁴⁹²⁹; for out of it [are] the issues ⁸⁴⁴⁴ of life ²⁴¹⁶.
Pro 4:24		Put away ⁵⁴⁹³ from thee a froward ⁶¹⁴³ mouth ⁶³¹⁰, and perverse ³⁸⁹¹ lips ⁸¹⁹³ put far ⁷³⁶⁸ from thee.
Pro 4:25		Let thine eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹ look ⁵⁰²⁷ right on ⁵²²⁷, and let thine eyelids ⁶⁰⁷⁹ look straight ³⁴⁷⁴ before thee.
Pro 4:26		Ponder ⁶⁴²⁴ the path ⁴⁵⁷⁰ of thy feet ⁷²⁷², and let all thy ways ¹⁸⁷⁰ be established ³⁵⁵⁹ .
Pro 4:27		Turn ⁵¹⁸⁶ not to the right hand ³²²⁵ nor to the left ⁸⁰⁴⁰: remove ⁵⁴⁹³ thy foot ⁷²⁷² from evil ⁷⁴⁵¹.
