To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

The heart of the wise shall attend to his mouth, and he shall add knowledge to his lips.
