Church of England Teachers' Magazine Proverbs 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life. On the moors of Yorkshire there is a stream of water which goes by the name of the "Ochre Spring." It rises high up in the hills, and runs on bright and sparkling for a short distance, when it suddenly becomes a dark and muddy yellow. What is the reason of this? It has been passing through a bed of ochre, and so it flows on for miles, thick and sluggish, useless and unpleasant. The world is full of such beds of ochre .... Enter not in the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. (Church of England Teachers' Magazine.) Parallel Verses KJV: Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.WEB: Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. |
