Proverbs 1:5 - 1:9

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.
