Proverbs 9:9-11
Contemporary English Version

9 If you have good sense,
instruction will help you
    to have even better sense.
And if you live right,
education will help you
    to know even more.

10 (A) Respect and obey the Lord!
This is the beginning
    of wisdom.[a]
To have understanding,
    you must know the Holy God.
11 I am Wisdom. If you follow me,
    you will live a long time.
