Proverbs 1:1-7
English Standard Version
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.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
