Proverbs 1:2-6

They are for achieving wisdom and instruction, and to recognize sayings that bring insight.

They provide education in what makes sense, living right, judging correctly, and acting fairly.

They give discernment to the immature, knowledge and discretion to the young.

Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance,

understanding the proverbs and puzzles, the sayings and questions of the wise.
