Proverbs 1:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 People will learn to understand what proverbs and picture stories mean. They will understand the teaching and clever messages of wise people.
Good teaching for life
7 If you want to know how to live in a good way, you must first learn to respect the Lord with fear.[a] Fools refuse to listen to wise teaching.
8 Listen, my child, when your father shows you what is right. And do not forget what your mother has taught you.

- 1:7 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
