2To know wisdom and instruction, And to perceive words of understanding;
3To receive also hard sayings, And to understand true justice, And how to direct judgment;
4That he might give subtlety to the simple, And to the young man discernment and understanding.
5For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, And the man of understanding will gain direction;
