Proverbs 1:3

New Living Translation

Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair.

See the chapter Copy

When all Israel heard the king’s decision, the people were in awe of the king, for they saw the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice.

Listen to his instructions, and store them in your heart.

Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.

In this way, you may know the truth and take an accurate report to those who sent you.

The Teacher sought to find just the right words to express truths clearly.
