²To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:

³To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:

⁴To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

⁵(The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)

⁶To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
