My child, be attentive to my wisdom, pay close attention to my understanding,


"So now, children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction so that you may be wise, and do not neglect it.

Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my instruction.

Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to the words of knowledge.

Therefore, listen to the Lord's word, you who mock, you rulers of these people who reside in Jerusalem!

You people of Israel, listen to what the Lord has to say to you.


Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my instruction.

Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to the words of knowledge.
