Proverbs 4 involves further fatherly advice to his sons extolling the supremacy of wisdom. The father recalls his own father's advice: "Get wisdom and understanding... do not forsake wisdom and she will protect you... wisdom is supreme"! He goes on to say that his sons' lives will be long if they live wisely. He then exhorts his sons to never walk in the ways of evil men... but the path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn... whereas the way of the wicked is like deep darkness. Wisdom is health to a man's whole body. "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life... look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you"!
