Ye

My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:

Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.

Even as you saw how, like a father with his children, we were teaching and comforting you all, and giving witness,

Attend

My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:

Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend:

Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.

Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.

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

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.
