Proverbs 1:5-9

New American Standard Bible

⁵ A wise person will hear and ^(A)increase in learning,
And a ^(B)person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
⁶ To understand a proverb and a saying,
The words of the wise and their ^(C)riddles.

^8 (E)Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
And ^(F)do not ignore your mother’s teaching;
⁹ For they are a ^(G)graceful wreath for your head
And ^(H)necklaces for your neck.
