-
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
-
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
-
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
-
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
-
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
-
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
-
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
-
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
-
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
-
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
-
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
-
For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
-
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
-
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
-
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
-
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
-
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
-
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
-
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
-
The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
-
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
-
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
-
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
-
A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
-
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
