New Testament

Mishle 4:4-9 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine lev retain my words; be shomer over my mitzvot, and live.

5. Acquire chochmah, acquire binah (understanding); forget it not; neither turn from the words of my peh (mouth).

6. Forsake her not, and she shall be shomer over thee; love her, and she shall protect thee.

7. Chochmah is the principal thing; therefore get chochmah, and with all thy getting get binah (understanding).

8. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee; she shall honor thee with kavod, when thou dost embrace her.

9. She shall give to thine head a garland of chen; an ateret (crown) of tiferet (glory) shall she present to thee.
