Proverbs 4:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³ For I too was once a child to my father;
and my mother, too, thought of me as her special darling.
⁴ He too taught me; he said to me,
“Let your heart treasure my words;
keep my commands, and live;
⁵ gain wisdom, gain insight;
don’t forget or turn from the words I am saying.
