"By listening, the wise shall become wiser and the intelligent shall possess governments."
— Proverbs 1:5, Catholic Public Domain 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:”
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.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The foolish despise wisdom as well as doctrine.
Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother,
