American King James Version
"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels: "
— Proverbs 1:5, American King James Version
“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:”
“That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels: ”
“that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:”
“(Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)”
“A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments.”
“(The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)”
“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:”
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give subtlety 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 to 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.
My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:
