6to understand a proverb and parables,the words and riddles of the wise. 7The fear of Yahwehis the beginning of knowledge,but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. 8My son, listen to your father’s instruction,and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching; 9for they will be a garland to grace your head,and chains around your neck. 10My son, if sinners entice you,don’t consent.
