Proverbs 1:9

5that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;

6to understand a proverb and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.

7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

8My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;

9for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.

10My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.

11If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.

12Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

13We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
