Proverbs 1:7-9
English Standard Version

7 (A)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
    fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Enticement of Sinners

8 (B)Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
    and forsake not your mother's teaching,
9 for they are (C)a graceful garland for your head
    and (D)pendants for your neck.
