Attaining Wisdom, Instruction & Understanding

Proverbs 1:1-7

1  The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 
2  To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 
3  To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 
4  To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 
5  A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 
6  To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 
7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
