5. If the wise will hear them, doctrine shall increase, and the man of understanding shall acquire wise counsel:
6. To understand a parable and the interpretation; the words of the wise and their enigmas.
7. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and chastening.
8. My son, hearken unto the chastening of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9. For they shall be an increase of grace unto thy head and protection about thy neck.
10. My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent.
11. If they say, Come with us, let us lay in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without cause.
12. Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol and whole as those that go down into the pit;
13. We shall find all kinds of riches, we shall fill our houses with spoil.
