Proverbs 1:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ Fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;
    wisdom and instruction, fools despise.

⁸ My child, may you keep^[a] your father’s instruction,
    and do not reject your mother’s teachings,
⁹ for they are a garland of favor for your head,
    and pendants for your neck.
