Proverbs 4:4-8

MLV(i) 4 And he taught me and said to me, Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not forget, nor decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her and she will preserve you. Love her and she will keep you.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing. Get wisdom, yes, get understanding with all your substance.
8 Exalt her and she will promote you. She will bring you to honor when you embrace her.
