2. To have da'as of chochmah and musar (discipline); to understand the words of binah;
3. To receive the musar of those with seichel, tzedek and mishpat, and meisharim (equity, uprightness);
4. To give subtlety to the simple, to the na'ar, da'as and discretion.
5. A chacham (wise person) will hear, and will increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6. To understand a mashal (proverb), and the melitzah (enigma); the divrei chachamim, and their chidot (riddles).
7. The Yirat Hashem is the reshit da'as, but fools despise chochmah and musar.
