Proverbs 1:3

To receive the instruction - haskel , the deliberately weighing of the points contained in the teaching, so as to find out their importance.

Equity - mesharim , rectitude. The pupil is to receive wisdom and instruction, the words of wisdom and understanding, justice and judgment, so perfectly as to excel in all. Wisdom itself, personified, is his teacher; and when God' s wisdom teaches, there is no delay in learning.
