To know [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction; To discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight,To receive instruction in wise behavior and the discipline of wise thoughtfulness, Righteousness, justice, and integrity;That prudence (good judgment, astute common sense) may be given to the naive or inexperienced [who are easily misled], And knowledge and discretion (intelligent discernment) to the youth,The wise will hear and increase their learning, And the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill [to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth], - Proverbs 1:2-5
