King James Version
"To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion."
— Proverbs 1:4, King James Version
“To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion: ”
“to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man:”
“To impart shrewdness to the morally naive, a discerning plan to the young person.”
“To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding.”
“To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:”
“To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.”
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
