Proverbs 1:1–7 (Listen)

1:1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

2   To know wisdom and instruction,
    to understand words of insight,
3   to receive instruction in wise dealing,
    in righteousness, justice, and equity;
4   to give prudence to the simple,
    knowledge and discretion to the youth—
5   Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
    and the one who understands obtain guidance,
6   to understand a proverb and a saying,
    the words of the wise and their riddles.
7   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
    fools despise wisdom and instruction.

(ESV)
