Proverbs 1:5-9

New Century Version

⁵ Wise people can also listen and learn;
    even they can find good advice in these words.
⁶ Then anyone can understand wise words and stories,
    the words of the wise and their riddles.

⁸ My child, listen to your father’s teaching
    and do not forget your mother’s advice.
⁹ Their teaching will be like flowers in your hair
    or a necklace around your neck.
