As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

My son, give attention to my wisdom,
Incline your ear to my understanding;

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.

"Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways. "Heed instruction and be wise, And do not neglect it.

Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your mind to my knowledge;

Apply your heart to discipline
And your ears to words of knowledge.

Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, O scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
