Proverbs 1:5-10

⁵That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, and the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels;

⁶To understand a proverb, and a figure; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁷The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.

⁸Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

⁹For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

¹⁰My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
