The Foundation of Knowledge

Proverbs 1:7

Showing verse 7 with surrounding context.

To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,

let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel

by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.

For they are a garland of grace on your head and a pendant around your neck.

My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.
