Proverbs 1:7-9
New Living Translation

7 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,
    but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

8 My child,[a] listen when your father corrects you.
    Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace
    and be a chain of honor around your neck.
