1. The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
2. To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;
3. To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;
4. To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:
5. That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:
