1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

⁴ To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

² That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

⁹ And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
