O sons, hear the teaching of a father. Listen so you may get understanding. For I give you good teaching. Do not turn away from it. When I was a much loved and only son of my mother and father, he taught me, saying, “Hold my words close to your heart. Keep my teachings and live. Get wisdom and understanding. Do not forget or turn away from the words of my mouth. (Proverbs 4:1-5 NLV)
The best thing a parent can teach their child is to seek after Wisdom, the wisdom of God, by studying the Word of God. You are near, O Lord. And all of Your Word is truth. All of Your Word is truth, and every one of Your laws, which are always right, will last forever. (Psalm 119:151, 160 NLV) King David, who also wrote most of the Psalms, was King Solomon's father, and at a young age, he taught his son, “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. " (I Chronicles 28:9)
Do not leave her alone, and she will keep you safe. Love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is: Get wisdom! And with all you have gotten, get understanding. Honor her and she will honor you. She will honor you if you hold her to your heart. She will put on your head a crown of loving-favor and beauty.” Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you on the right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be stopped. If you run, you will not trip. Take hold of teaching. Do not let go. Watch over her, for she is your life. (Proverbs 4:6-13 NLV)
Honor means to prize, ie. fix a valuation upon, by implication to revere. Of the ten commandments, “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” (Ephesians 6:2-3) Just as children are to honor their parents, so are we to teach them to honor Wisdom. Honoring our parents leads to God blessing us to ...live a long time and your life will be full of many good things. (Ephesians 6:3 NLV); and honoring God's Word, the Wisdom of God will also lead God to bless us, so that the years of your life will be many.

My son, listen to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. Do not let them leave your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. (Proverbs 4:20-22 NLV) My son, listen to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding. So you may know what is good thinking, and your lips may keep much learning. (Proverbs 5:1-2 NLV)
Wisdom give us eternal life; Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6) Wisdom give us spiritual healing; For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. (I Peter 2:21, 24) Wisdom gives us spiritual understanding and the ability to make wise choices: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, (Philippians 2:5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:5-6)
A wise son listens when his father tells him the right way, but one who laughs at the truth does not listen when strong words are spoken to him. (Proverbs 13:1 NLV) My son, stop listening to teaching that will cause you to turn away from the words of much learning. (Proverbs 19:27 NLV) My son, eat honey, for it is good. Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is like this to your soul. If you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off. (Proverbs 24:13-14 NLV) All of us have to eat physical food for our physical bodies, but we also have to eat spiritual food for our souls. Just as Moses and the children of Isreal were fed by God with the bread from heaven and the water from the rock, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. (I Corinthians 10:3-4)
But eventhough God fed them, the majority still laughed at the truth and did not listen when strong words were spoken to them, and turned away from the words of much learning. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (I Corinthians 10:6-11)
Let's heed the warning of God by Solomon, stop listening to teaching that will cause you to turn away from the words of much learning. Just as Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (Ephesians 6:1); how much more should “We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29) Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand justice. (Job 32:9) Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and [non-Jews] seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the [non-Jews] foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and [non-Jews], Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (I Corinthians 1:20-25)
