Proverbs 1:7-10 New English Translation (NET)

7. Fearing the Lord is the beginning of moral knowledge,but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8. Listen, my child, to the instruction from your father,and do not forsake the teaching from your mother.

9. For they will be like an elegant garland on your head,and like pendants around your neck.

10. My child, if sinners try to entice you,do not consent!
