Proverbs 4:5-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. Acquire wisdom.Acquire understanding.Do not forget.Do not turn away from the words that I have spoken.

6. Do not abandon wisdom, and it will watch over you.Love wisdom, and it will protect you.

7. The beginning of wisdom is to acquire wisdom.Acquire understanding with all that you have.

8. Cherish wisdom.It will raise you up.It will bring you honor when you embrace it.

9. It will give you a graceful garland for your head.It will hand you a beautiful crown.”
