Proverbs 1:2

Tree of Life Version

to acquire wisdom and discipline, to understand the words of insight,

See the chapter Copy

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your relative.

Of what use is money in the hand of a fool since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?

O naïve ones, learn prudence! Fools, gain understanding!

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.

Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention, to gain understanding.

The fear of Adonai is the discipline of wisdom, and humility comes before honor.

Then you will discern what is right and just and fair—every good path.

Heed discipline and be wise, and do not neglect it.

Listen to advice and accept instruction, so that in the end you may be wise.
