Proverbs 4:3 in Context — Proverbs 4
1 Ouvi, filhos, a correção do pai; e prestai atenção, para que conheçais o entendimento.
2 Pois eu vos dou boa doutrina; não deixeis a minha lei.
3 Porque eu era filho do meu pai; tenro, e único perante a face de minha mãe.
4 E ele me ensinava, e me dizia: Que teu coração retenha minhas palavras; guarda meus mandamentos, e vive.
5 Adquire sabedoria, adquire entendimento; [e] não te esqueças nem te desvies das palavras de minha boca.
