C'mon, man! Here's the deal: Proverbs 1 starts off with a pretty wise guy, King Solomon, saying "Hey, Listen, Jack - my father used to say, 'get wisdom, get understanding', and I'm not joking here - if you do that, you'll be the real deal! See here, Jack - wisdom is the key to success. It's more valuable than silver, gold, and literally any kind of wealth you can think of. But that's not all - wisdom will give you the skills to navigate the tough times and protect you from danger. No malarkey! Folks! That's why it's important to listen to your parents and others who offer advice. And what was that? Oh yeah, it's also important to stay away from the wrong crowd, because they'll lead you astray. Or uh, you know, they'll try to get you to do stuff that's not gonna happen. I tell you what, if you follow the advice in Proverbs 1, you'll be golden. Excuse me, but that's the bottom line.
