3For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness,
4For giving to simple ones — prudence, To a youth — knowledge and discretion.
5(The wise doth hear and increaseth learning, And the intelligent doth obtain counsels.)
6For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings.
7Fear of Jehovah is a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!
8Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,
9For a graceful wreath are they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.
10My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.
11If they say, 'Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,
