⁵ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

⁶ To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁷ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

²³ Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

³³ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
