Proverbs 1:1-7

Ninth Day of Christmas

1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

2 For learning about wisdom and instruction,
   for understanding words of insight,
3 for gaining instruction in wise dealing,
   righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 to teach shrewdness to the simple,
   knowledge and prudence to the young—
5 let the wise also hear and gain in learning,
   and the discerning acquire skill,
6 to understand a proverb and a figure,
   the words of the wise and their riddles.

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
   fools despise wisdom and instruction.
