NASB
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction."
— Proverbs 1:7, NASB
To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,
A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
To understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Hear, my son, your father's instruction And do not forsake your mother's teaching;
Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck.
My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
