6 Para entender provérbios e [sua] interpretação; as palavras dos sábios, e seus enigmas.

7 O temor ao SENHOR [é] o principio do conhecimento; os tolos desprezam a sabedoria e a instrução.

8 Filho meu, ouve a instrução de teu pai; e não abandones a doutrina de tua mãe.

9 Porque [serão] um ornamento gracioso para tua cabeça; e colares para teu pescoço.

10 Filho meu, se os pecadores tentarem te convencer, não te deixes influenciar.
