Provérbios 1

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

2 to know wisdom and chastening; to understand prudent words;

3 to receive the chastening of prudence, justice, judgment, and equity;

4 to give prudence to the simple, and to the young men knowledge and council.

5 If the wise will hear them, doctrine shall increase, and the man of understanding shall acquire wise counsel:

6 To understand a parable and the interpretation; the words of the wise and their enigmas.
