Proverbs 1:1-7
1The 1proverbs of Solomon 2the son of David, king of Israel:2To know 3wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of 4understanding,3To 5receive instruction in wise behavior, 6Righteousness, justice and equity;4To give 7prudence to the 8naive, To the youth 9knowledge and discretion,5A wise man will hear and 10increase in learning, And a 11man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,6To understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their 12riddles.
713The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
