The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.
To know wisdom and instruction;
to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom,
justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give subtilty to the simple,
to the young man knowledge and discretion.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;
and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation;
the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
