thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; thou shalt also apply thine heart to understanding, and shalt apply it to the instruction of thy son.

Proverbs 2 : 3 (LXXEN)

For it thou shalt call to wisdom, and utter thy voice for understanding;

then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence come knowledge and understanding,

whose paths are crooked, and their *Lit. wheel tracks; compare Heb 12:13 courses winding;

to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee,
