Proverbs 1:1-9 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
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.
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.
