The Foundation of Knowledge

Proverbs 1:7

Showing verse 7 with surrounding context.

To giue vnto the simple, sharpenesse of wit, and to the childe knowledge and discretion.

A wise man shall heare and increase in learning, and a man of vnderstanding shall attayne vnto wise counsels,

To vnderstand a parable, and the interpretation, the wordes of ye wise, and their darke sayings.

The feare of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction.

My sonne, heare thy fathers instruction, and forsake not thy mothers teaching.

For they shalbe a comely ornament vnto thine head, and as chaines for thy necke.

My sonne, if sinners doe intise thee, consent thou not.
