Proverbs 1:5-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ a wise person will listen and continue to learn,
and an understanding person will gain direction—
⁶ to understand a proverb and a clever saying,
the words of wise people and their riddles.

⁸ My son,
listen to your father’s discipline,
and do not neglect your mother’s teachings,
⁹ because discipline and teachings
are a graceful garland on your head
and a ⌞golden⌟ chain around your neck.
