     1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4 To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

     7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.(KJV)

1. I pray Thee, dear Lord Jesus, 
My heart to keep and train 
That I Thy holy temple 
From youth to age remain. 
Turn Thou my thoughts forever 
From worldly wisdom’s lore; 
If I but learn to know Thee, 
I shall not want for more.
