The Beginning of Knowledge

Proverbs 1:1-7 (NKJV)
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, judgment, and equity; 
4 To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion— 
5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, 
6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. 
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
