Proverbs 4:4-9 English Revised Version (ERV)

4. And he taught me, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words; keep my commandments, and live:

5. Get wisdom, get understanding; forget it not, neither decline from the words of my mouth:

6. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee; love her, and she shall keep thee.

7. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: yea, with all thou hast gotten get understanding.

8. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

9. She shall give to thine head a chaplet of grace: a crown of beauty shall she deliver to thee.
