Proverbs 1:7

“You shall keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

“So He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; Good insight belongs to all those who do His commandments; His praise stands forever.

Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh And find the knowledge of God.

And you say, “How I have hated discipline! And my heart spurned reproof!

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

He who neglects discipline despises his soul, But he who listens to reproof acquires a heart of wisdom.

Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the insight of your speech.
