Verse.................................

3.  When I was a son to my father,
Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,
4 

4.  He taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart take hold of my words;
Keep my commandments and live;
5 

5.  Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 

6.  Do not abandon her, and she will guard you;
Love her, and she will watch over you.
7 

7.  The [c]beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom;
And with all your possessions, acquire understanding.
8 

8.  Prize her, and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.
9 

9.  She will place on your head a garland of grace;
She will present you with a crown of beauty.”
