5 Let the wise man hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire guidance,
6 To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;
Ignorant fools despise wisdom and discipline.
The Enticement of Sinners
8 Hear, my son, your father’s discipline
And do not abandon your mother’s instruction;
9 For they are a garland of grace for your head
And ornaments about your neck.
