I've worked my way through the first seven verses of Proverbs in Hebrew (again with a lot of help from reference books of various types). Here are my results.
The proverbs of Solomon,
the son of David, king of Israel.
To know wisdom and discipline,
to understand insightful sayings.
To take hold of the discipline of intelligence-
righteousness and judgment and straightness.
To give shrewdness to the naïve,
and knowledge and discretion to youth.
The wise will hear and add learning,
the intelligent will acquire guidance.
To understand a proverb and a parable,
the words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and correction.
