The Beginning of Knowledge
1 [These are] the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,
2 for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,
3 [and] for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
4 To impart prudence to the simple[fn] [and] knowledge and discretion to the young,
5 {let} the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
6 by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge, [but] fools[fn] despise wisdom and discipline.
1:4 The Hebrew word rendered simple in Proverbs refers to one who is naive, without moral direction, or inclined to evil.
1:7 The Hebrew words rendered as fool in Proverbs denote one who is morally deficient.
