Proverbs 1:2

King James 2000

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

See the chapter Copy

Say unto wisdom, you are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman:

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart for it?

O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be of an understanding heart.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

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

Then shall you understand righteousness, and justice, and equity; yea, every good path.

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
