My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
