Proverbs 1:3
1 These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,
2 for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,
and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
4 To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,
5 let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
