View In My Bible
1
The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
2
That men may know wisdom and instruction, understand words of insight,
3
receive instruction in wise dealing, righteousness, justice, and equity;
4
that prudence may be given to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth--
5
the wise man also may hear and increase in learning, and the man of understanding 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.
