3 To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the simple, Knowledge and discretion to the young man:
5 That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; That the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
6 To understand a proverb, and parables, The words and riddles of the wise.
7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, listen to your father`s instruction, And don`t forsake your mother`s teaching:
9 For they will be a garland to grace your head, And chains around your neck.
