Proverbs 1:7-9, New Living Translation
7 Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline.
A Father's Exhortation: Acquire Wisdom
8 Listen, my child,[1][Hebrew my son; also in 1:10, 15.] to what your father teaches you. Don't neglect your mother's teaching.
9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace and clothe you with honor.
