Proverbs 1:1-7

1. 1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2. 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3. 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4. 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5. 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

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

7. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
