Proverbs 1:2-7

2For learning wisdom and discipline; for understanding insightful sayings;

3for receiving prudent instruction in righteousness, justice, and integrity;

4for teaching shrewdness to the inexperienced, knowledge and discretion to a young man —

5let a wise person listen and increase learning, and let a discerning person obtain guidance —

6for understanding a proverb or a parable, the words of the wise, and their riddles.

7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.
