Proverbs 1:2

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;

See the chapter Copy

Say to wisdom, Thou my sister; and thou shalt call knowledge to understanding:

Wherefore this a price in the hand of the foolish one to obtain wisdom, and no heart?

Understand craftiness, ye simple: and ye foolish, understand the heart

The obtaining of wisdom how good above gold and the obtaining of understanding to be chosen above silver.

Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

The fear of Jehovah the instruction of wisdom; and before honor humility.

Then thou shalt understand justice and judgment and uprightness; every good track.

Hear ye instructions, and be wise, and ye shall not reject it

Hear counsel and receive instruction, so that thou shalt be wise in thy latter state.
