2To know wisdom and instruction, And to perceive words of understanding;
3To receive also hard sayings, And to understand true justice, And how to direct judgment;
— Proverbs 1:4 —
5For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, And the man of understanding will gain direction;
6And will understand a parable, and a dark speech; The sayings of the wise also, and riddles.
