7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. 8My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;
9for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.
After · Proverbs 1:10–11
10My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent. 11If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
