Mishle 1:5-7
Orthodox Jewish Bible

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.
