Proverbs 1:4-7

⁴Which will give caution to the simple, To the young man wisdom and discretion;

⁵Let the wise man hear, and he will increase his knowledge, And the man of understanding will gain wise counsels;

⁶So as to understand a proverb and a deep maxim, The words of the wise and their dark sayings.

⁷The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
