3 May receive instruction in wise conduct,in what is right, just and fair;
4 That resourcefulness may be imparted to the naive,knowledge and discretion to the young.
5 The wise by hearing them will advance in learning,the intelligent will gain sound guidance,
6 To comprehend proverb and byword,the words of the wise and their riddles.
7 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8 Hear, my son, your father’s instruction,and reject not your mother’s teaching;
9 A graceful diadem will they be for your head;a pendant for your neck.
