Proverbs 1

  1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

  2 for attaining wisdom and discipline;
       for understanding words of insight;

  3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
       doing what is right and just and fair;

  4 for giving prudence to the simple,
       knowledge and discretion to the young-

  5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
       and let the discerning get guidance-

  6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
       the sayings and riddles of the wise.

  7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
       but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
