Proverbs 1:1-5

¹The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel;

²to know wisdom and knowing; to understand the words of prudence;

³and to take the learning of teach-ing; to take rightfulness or rightwise-ness, and doom, and equity;

⁴that fellness, or wariness, be given to little children, and knowing and understanding to a young waxing man.

⁵A wise man hearing shall be the wiser; and a man understanding shall hold governance.
