Proverbs 1:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
To know wisdom and instruction,
To discern the sayings of understanding,
3
To receive instruction in wise behavior,
Righteousness, justice, and integrity;
4
To give prudence to the naive,
To the youth knowledge and discretion,
5
A wise person will hear and increase in learning,
And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
6
To 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.

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
And do not ignore your mother’s teaching;

5
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Lord
is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
