Proverbs 1:2

Modern King James Version

to know wisdom and instruction; to recognize the words of understanding;

See the chapter Copy

Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinsman,

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

O simple ones, understand wisdom; and, fools, be of an understanding heart.

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

Sons, hear the instruction of a father, and listen in order to know understanding.

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

Then you shall understand righteousness and judgment and honesty, every good path.

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

Hear advice, and receive instruction, so that you may be wise in your latter end.
