-
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
-
For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah,
-
Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
-
For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:
-
Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:
-
Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
-
Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:
-
My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:
-
For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
-
Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
-
For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.
-
For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.
-
The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
-
For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths.
-
There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
-
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.
-
Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.
-
For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.
-
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
-
Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
-
The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
-
The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
-
The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
-
A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; But a just weight is his delight.
-
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah; But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
