1 The parables of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, 2 in order to know wisdom and discipline, 3 to understand words of prudence, and to accept the instruction of doctrine, justice and judgment, and equity, 4 so as to give discernment to little ones, knowledge and understanding to adolescents. 5 By listening, the wise shall become wiser and the intelligent shall possess governments. 6 He shall turn his soul to a parable and to its interpretation, to the words of the wise and their enigmas. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The foolish despise wisdom as well as doctrine. Proverbs 1:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
