In context
6And will understand a parable, and a dark speech; The sayings of the wise also, and riddles.
7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; And there is good understanding to all that practice it: And piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; But the ungodly will set at nought wisdom and instruction.
— Proverbs 1:8 —
9For thou shalt receive for thy head a crown of graces, And a chain of gold round thy neck.
10My son, let not ungodly men lead thee astray, Neither consent thou to them.
