Proverbs 1:4-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ to give prudence to the simple, and to the young men knowledge and council.

⁵ If the wise will hear them, doctrine shall increase, and the man of understanding shall acquire wise counsel:

⁶ To understand a parable and the interpretation; the words of the wise and their enigmas.

⁷ ¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and chastening.
