to understand a proverb and parables,

Proverbs 1:3–9
to receive instruction in wise dealing,
in righteousness, justice, and equity;
to give prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young man—
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.
My son, listen to your father’s instruction,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;
for they will be a garland to grace your head,
and chains around your neck.
