To discern the sayings of
understanding,
To
recieve instruction in wise behavior,
Righteousness, justice, and
equity;
To give
prudence to the naive,
To the youth knowledge and
discretion,
A wise
man will hear and increase inlearning,
And a man of understanding will
acquire wise counsel,
To
understand a proverb and a figure,
The words of the wise and their
riddles.
The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and
instruction."
Proverbs
1:2-7
