Proverbs
Self-contained verses, which makes it the easiest thing here to read a little of.
The opening
מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן־דָּוִד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
[These are] the analogues of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel [e.g., Torah is compared to a good woman; idolatry, to an adulteress.]
לָדַעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר לְהָבִין אִמְרֵי בִינָֽה׃
[He stated these analogues] to make known [(to men the importance of studying Torah, which is)] wisdom and mussar (reproof), to make understood words of understanding.
