Proverbs 1:5-9

English Standard Version

⁵ Let the wise hear and ^(A)increase in learning,
    and the one who understands obtain guidance,
⁶ to understand a proverb and a saying,
    ^(B)the words of the wise and their ^(C)riddles.

^8 (E)Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
    and forsake not your mother's teaching,
⁹ for they are ^(F)a graceful garland for your head
    and ^(G)pendants for your neck.
