6 Para entender parábola y declaración; palabras de sabios, y sus dichos oscuros.
7 El principio de la sabiduría es el temor de Jehová: los insensatos desprecian la sabiduría y la enseñanza.
8 Oye, hijo mío, la doctrina de tu padre, y no desprecies la dirección de tu madre:
9 Porque adorno de gracia serán á tu cabeza, y collares á tu cuello.
10 Hijo mío, si los pecadores te quisieren engañar, no consientas.
