The way

My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:

And he gave me teaching, saying to me, Keep my words in your heart; keep my rules so that you may have life:

A lover of training is a lover of knowledge; but a hater of teaching is like a beast.

Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.

Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,

He that

You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:

And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training;

There is bitter punishment for him who is turned from the way; and death will be the fate of the hater of teaching.

A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again.

But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

Erreth

Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.
