To receive instruction in wise behavior,This verse is part of a list of the reasons Proverbs was written. It's so that readers can receive instruction. It's not written for the writer to be exalted or honored. It's for the reader to learn from. How many non-fiction books today are essentially written just so that the writer can toot his own horn? We're getting into election season now, so everyone's released books.
Righteousness, justice and equity;
There are four areas to receive instruction in. First is wise behavior; this is about behavior, not just knowledge. Second is righteousness; behaving wisely is behaving correctly. Third is justice; correct behavior will lead you to treat people properly. Fourth is equity; if one is just, you do not favor one side or the other, only what is true and right.
