4 to give prudence to the simple,knowledge and discretion to the young man:
5 that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning;that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
6 to understand a proverb, and parables,the words and riddles of the wise.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, listen to your father’s instruction,and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:
9 for they will be a garland to grace your head,and chains around your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you,don’t consent.
