My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it {are} the issues of life. {with...: Heb. above all keeping}

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Woe unto {them that are} mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son {is} stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; {he is} a glutton, and a drunkard.

Whoso keepeth the law {is} a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous {men} shameth his father. {is a companion...: or, feedeth gluttons}
