in order to know wisdom and discipline,
to understand words of prudence, and to accept the instruction of doctrine, justice and judgment, and equity,
so as to give discernment to little ones, knowledge and understanding to adolescents.
By listening, the wise shall become wiser and the intelligent shall possess governments.
He shall turn his soul to a parable and to its interpretation, to the words of the wise and their enigmas.
