1:1-7

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

² for attaining wisdom and discipline;

for understanding words of insight;

³ for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,

doing what is right and just and fair;

⁴ for giving prudence to the simple,

knowledge and discretion to the young-

⁵ let the wise listen and add to their learning,

and let the discerning get guidance-

⁶ for understanding proverbs and parables,

the sayings and riddles of the wise.

⁷ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,

but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

If you are simple or young or wise or discerning, If you want to attain wisdom and discipline, if you want to be fair and just and right...This is for you! May God be using his spirit through his word to transform our hearts to fear him and long to do things his way.
