Proverbs 1:7-9
American Standard Version
7 The fear of Jehovah is the [a]beginning of knowledge;
But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father,
And forsake not the [b]law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head,
And chains about thy neck.
