Proverbs 1:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 1:5

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,
Justice, judgment, and equity;

4 To give prudence to the ^asimple,
To the young man knowledge and discretion—

5 ^aA wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will¹ attain wise counsel,

6 To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their ^ariddles.

7 ^aThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
