Proverbs 1:4

The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:

to know wisdom and instruction;

to discern the words of understanding;

to receive instruction in wise dealing,

in righteousness, justice, and equity;

that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning;

that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;

to understand a proverb and parables,

the words and riddles of the wise.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,

but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
