Let the wise man hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire guidance

My son, if sinners entice you, Do not be willing.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and discipline, To understand the sayings of understanding, To receive discipline that leads to insight, Righteousness, justice, and equity, To give prudence to the simple, To the youth knowledge and discretion

“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me earnestly but they will not find me, Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of Yahweh.
