Memory Verse: 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding.”
The proverb today is somewhat different from the previous ones. There are only two messages in these verses:
Pay attention to what your father teaches
Learn it by heart
The breakdown of this proverb would be:
1) Pay attention; don’t let my words go in one ear and out the other
2) When I was young, my father drilled me on what is important
3) Pay attention; do what I say to live
4) Sell everything to get wisdom, hunt for understanding
5) Don’t forget it; don’t deviate from it
6) Never walk away from wisdom
7) Put wisdom and understanding at the top of your list
8) Embrace wisdom; don’t let it slip away
9) Grace and beauty are the end results
10) Taking good advice will add years to your life
11) My directions are clear through righteousness
12) Don’t go into blind alleys or make wrong turns from the advice
13) Hold tight to good advice; don’t loosen your grip
14) Guard it well; don’t take wicked bypasses or short-cuts
15) Stay totally away from evil; stay away!
16) Evil people are restless people
17) They cannot sleep without spoiling someone’s life
18) Adversity and violence are their drugs of choice
19) Righteous live in light; wicked seek the dark
20) Learn my ways by heart; cherish them
21) Keep the written words before you
22) For body and soul to live, keep these words
23) Keep a vigilant watch over your heart; protect it
24) Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid debate, lies, and gossip
25) Keep your eyes on the road; avoid destruction
26) Watch your step –EVERY step
27) Don’t look right or left; leave evil behind
