3To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, and judgment, and equity;
4To give subtilty to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion.
5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
