Proverbs 1:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 A wise person will hear and (A)increase in learning,
And a (B)person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and a saying,
The words of the wise and their (C)riddles.
7 (D)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
