Proverbs 7:1

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

If you love me, keep my commandments.

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire,

Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.

I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word.

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,

Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
