HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV.

A Father’s Wise Instruction

4    Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction,

            and be attentive, that you may  gain^[a] insight,

 ²      for I give you good  precepts;

           do not forsake my teaching.

 ³      When I was a son with my father,

           tender,  the only one in the sight of my mother,

⁴      he  taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words;

           keep my commandments, and live.

⁵      Get wisdom; get  insight;

           do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.

⁶       Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;

           love her, and she will guard you.

 ⁷      The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,

           and whatever you get, get  insight.

 ⁸      Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;

          she will  honor you  if you embrace her.

⁹      She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful

          crown.”

¹⁰       Hear,  my son, and accept my words, that  the years of your life may be many.

¹¹        I have  taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness.

¹²      When you walk,  your step will not be hampered, and  if you run, you will not stumble.

¹³      Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your  life.

¹⁴      Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil.

¹⁵      Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on.

¹⁶      For they  cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of

sleep unless they have made someone stumble.

¹⁷      For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

¹⁸      But  the path of the righteous is like  the light of dawn, which shines  brighter and

brighter until  full day.

¹⁹      The way of the wicked is like deep  darkness; they do not know over what they  stumble.

²⁰ My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.

²¹ Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.

²²For they are  life to those who find them, and healing to all their^[b] flesh.

²³Keep your heart with all vigilance, for  from it flow  the springs of life.

²⁴ Put away from you  crooked speech, and put  devious talk far from you.

²⁵ Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.

²⁶Ponder^[c] the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.

²⁷    Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
