1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
²To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight,³to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;⁴to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth—⁵Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,⁶to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. ⁷The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
