Provérbios 1

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

2 To know wisdom and instruction;

To perceive the words of understanding;

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,

Justice, and judgment, and equity;

4 To give subtilty to the simple,

To the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;

And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation;

The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:

But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
