Brenton(i)
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you a good gift; forsake ye not my law.
3 For I also was a son obedient to my father, and loved in the sight of my mother:
4 who spoke and instructed me, saying, Let our speech be fixed in thine heart, keep our commandments, forget them not:
5 and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.
6 And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee.
7 (OMITTED TEXT)
8 Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee;
9 that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight.
10 Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.
11 For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths.
12 For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed.
