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.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, don`t consent.
11 If they say, "Come with us, Let`s lay in wait for blood; Let`s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let`s swallow them up alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down into the pit.
