28 And he said to humankind,‘Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”(A)
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it[a] have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.(A)
13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments, for that is the whole duty of everyone.(A)
