“The Writer and the Purpose”


Proverbs chapter 1 verses 1 to 7


(1)  The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
(2)  To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
(3)  To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
(4)  To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
(5)  A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
(6)  To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
(7)  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
