The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, 2To know wisdom, and instruction: 3To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity: 4To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding. 5A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments. 6He shall understand a parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings. 7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
