proverbs 1:1-9

Proverbs

1The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

Prologue


2 For learning about wisdom and instruction,
   for understanding words of insight,
3 for gaining instruction in wise dealing,
   righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 to teach shrewdness to the simple,
   knowledge and prudence to the young—
5 let the wise also hear and gain in learning,
   and the discerning acquire skill,
6 to understand a proverb and a figure,
   the words of the wise and their riddles.


7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
   fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Warnings against Evil Companions


8 Hear, my child, your father’s instruction,
   and do not reject your mother’s teaching;
9 for they are a fair garland for your head,
   and pendants for your neck.
