Proverbs 1:2

Young's Literal Translation 1898

For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence,

See the chapter Copy

The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, And before honour is humility!

To get wisdom--how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

Why is this--a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?

Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.

Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness--every good path.

Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.

Say to wisdom, `My sister Thou art .' And cry to understanding, `Kinswoman!'

Hear instruction, and be wise, and slight not.

Understand, ye simple ones, prudence, And ye fools, understand the heart,
