* The proverbs of Solomon the son of David , king of Israel : * To know wisdom and instruction , To perceive the words of understanding , * To receive the instruction of wisdom , Justice , judgment , and equity ; * To give prudence to the simple , To the young man knowledge and discretion -- * A wise man will hear and increase learning , And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel , * To understand a proverb and an enigma , The words of the wise and their riddles . * The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge , But fools despise wisdom and instruction .
