Proverbs 1:7-9, Proverbs 9:10, Job 28:28, Psalm 111:10, Ecclesiastes 12:13

⁷^aThe fear of ¹Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;²Ignorant fools despise wisdom and discipline.

The Enticement of Sinners

⁸^aHear, my son, your father’s disciplineAnd ^bdo not abandon your mother’s ¹instruction;⁹For they are a ^agarland of grace for your headAnd ¹^,^bornaments about your neck.

¹⁰The ^afear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom,And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

²⁸“So He said to man, ‘Behold, the ^afear of the Lord, that is wisdom;And to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

¹³The end of the matter, all that has been heard: ^afear God and ^bkeep His commandments, because this is the end of the matter for ^call mankind.
