Proverbs 1:5-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ If the wise will hear them, doctrine shall increase, and the man of understanding shall acquire wise counsel:

⁶ To understand a parable and the interpretation; the words of the wise and their enigmas.

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

⁸ My son, hearken unto the chastening of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ For they shall be an increase of grace unto thy head and protection about thy neck.
