Proverbs 1, 1-6, Day 2. Jan 2nd

By Anita Mathias

 1 The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
 2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
   for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
   doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a]
   knowledge and discretion to the young—
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
   and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
   the sayings and riddles of the wise.
And this is what the Proverbs are for:
For gaining wisdom and insight
And prudence for the simple-hearted
Learning what is right and just and fair
Giving knowledge and discretion to the young
Helping the wise become wiser
And the discerning receive guidance
I.e. They are for everyone, the simple, the wise, the young, the learned.
Lord, bless my reading of them.
