"Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life."
— Proverbs 4:13, Bible in Basic English
“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; protect it, because it is your life.”
Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.
I have given you teaching in the way of wisdom, guiding your steps in the straight way.
When you go, your way will not be narrow, and in running you will not have a fall.
Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life.
Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.
Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.
For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.
