Proverbs 1:2

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

They will help you learn to be wise, to accept correction, and to understand wise sayings.

See the chapter Copy

Treat wisdom like the woman you love and knowledge like the one dearest to you.

Money is wasted on fools. They cannot buy wisdom when they have no sense.

You who are ignorant, learn to be wise. You who are foolish, get some common sense.

Wisdom is worth much more than gold. Understanding is worth much more than silver.

Children, listen to your father’s teaching. Pay attention and you will learn how to learn.

Wisdom teaches you to respect the Lord. You must be humbled before you can be honored.

If you listen to him, you will understand what is just and fair and how to do what is right.

Listen to my teaching and be wise; don’t ignore what I say.

Listen to advice and accept discipline; then you, too, will become wise.
