To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;
To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;
To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:
That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:
To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; Butthe foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
