Proverbs 1:7 ASV

⁵  That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

⁶  To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

⁷  The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; 'But' the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

⁸  My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹  For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.
