Proverbs 4:1
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding.
In context
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding. 2 For I give you good doctrine, Forsake ye not my law. 3 For I was my father's son, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: Keep my commandments, and live.
