Proverbs 1:2-7

2To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight,

3to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;

4to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth—

5Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,

6to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles.

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