"that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:"
— Proverbs 1:5, World English Bible
“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: ”
“(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 discern the words of understanding;
to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man:
that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
