righteousness, justice, and equity;
4
to give prudence to
3
the simple, knowledge and

discretion to the youth--

Let the wise hear and

increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,

riddles.

Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,

for they are

pendants for your neck.
