So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.
Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—apply your mind to my knowledge—
My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.
See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them
Do not lose sight of them; keep them within your heart.
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
