3 For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only one before my mother.
4 And he directeth me, and he saith to me: 'Let thy heart retain my words, Keep my commands, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and she doth keep thee.
7 The first thing 'is' wisdom -- get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding.
