| 2 | To know wisdom, and instruction: To understand the words of prudence: | To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, | for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; | |
| 3 | and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity: | to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; | for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; | |
| 4 | To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding. | to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth— | for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young— | |
| 5 | A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments. | Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, | let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— | |
| 6 | He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings. | to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. | for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. | |
| 7 | The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. | |
