Proverbs 1

Assuming the Solomon is writing to prepare the next king of Israel Rehoboam is the intended audience. Solomon warned his son about rejecting God's words of wisdom; the same act that introduced sin to the world through Adam and Eve. God offers wisdom for those who recognize their ignorance. Those who knowing reject God's guidance will also receive something from God; his rejection of their requests for help. Like the parent who lives by "tough love" God seeks to allow failure in order that his children might choose to return to him. Actions that are still true today.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this passage.
