Verse 1 is found in chapter 3 of Proverbs. The father urges his son to keep his teachings in his heart and connects faithfulness with steadfast love, truth, trust in the Lord, and acknowledgment of God in all one’s ways. The famous call to trust in the Lord rather than rely on one’s own understanding does not eliminate thought, but rejects self-sufficiency. Divine correction also appears as an expression of a fatherly relationship rather than merely punishment.

Mein Kind, vergiß meines Gesetzes nicht, und dein Herz behalte meine Gebote.
Hijo mío, no te olvides de mi ley; Y tu corazón guarde mis mandamientos:

Figliuol mio, non dimenticare il mio insegnamento; E il cuor tuo guardi i miei comandamenti;
FILHO meu, não te esqueças da minha lei, e o teu coração guarde os meus mandamentos.
我兒啊,不要忘記我的教誨, 你的心要謹守我的命令,
