Solomon starts his Book of Proverbs By Stating the Importance of : Wisdom, Understanding, Justice, Judgment, and Instruction?

Proverb 1: 1-7 

1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

1:4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Solomon's main objective for his reader is, to make it possible for him "to know wisdom and instruction."

Here, instruction means "Discipline," or "chastisement."  There is little recognition of truth without discipline. Only a disciplined mind can see the right and wrong of an issue, and would be willing to get corrected!
