4 For giving insight to the simple, Knowledge and discretion to the young.
5 The wise one hears and increases learning, And the understanding one gets wise counsel,
6 For understanding a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of יהוה is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and discipline.
8 My son, heed the discipline of your father, And do not forsake the Torah of your mother;
9 For they are a fair wreath on your head, And chains about your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in.
