Proverbs 1:2-7

2To learn wisdom and moral instruction, and to discern wise counsel.

3To receive moral instruction in skillful living, in righteousness, justice, and equity.

4To impart shrewdness to the morally naive, and a discerning plan to the young person.

5(Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)

6To discern the meaning of a proverb and a parable, the sayings of the wise and their riddles.

7Fearing the Lord is the beginning of moral knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
