1:1The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

1:2To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

1:3To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

1:4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

1:5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

1:6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
