¹ My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding:

¹ My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee.

³ Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

⁵ While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

¹ Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

¹² So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

²⁰ My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

²¹ Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.
