Proverbs 1:6-8

⁶and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the sayings of the wise also, and riddles.

⁷The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and there is good understanding to all that practise it: and piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nought wisdom and instruction.

⁸Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and reject not the rules of thy mother.
