-
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; Ignorant fools despise wisdom and discipline.
-
Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of Yahweh.
-
Yahweh Gives Wisdom
My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,
-
Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh And find the knowledge of God.
-
For Yahweh gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and discernment.
-
Trust, Fear, and Honor Yahweh
My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart guard my commandments;
-
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
-
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear Yahweh and turn away from evil.
-
Honor Yahweh from your wealth And from the first of all your produce;
-
My son, do not reject the discipline of Yahweh Or loathe His reproof,
-
For whom Yahweh loves He reproves, Even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
-
Yahweh by wisdom founded the earth, By discernment He established the heavens.
-
For Yahweh will be your confidence And will keep your foot from being caught.
-
For the devious one is an abomination to Yahweh; But His secret council is with the upright.
-
The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one, But He blesses the abode of the righteous.
-
For the ways of a man are before the eyes of Yahweh, And He watches all his tracks.
-
There are six things which Yahweh hates, Even seven which are an abomination to Him:
-
The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the mouth of perverted words, I hate.
-
“Yahweh possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His deeds of old.
-
For he who finds me finds life And obtains favor from Yahweh.
-
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
-
Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to hunger, But He will push away the craving of the wicked.
-
It is the blessing of Yahweh that makes rich, And He adds no pain with it.
-
The fear of Yahweh prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
-
The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the one with integrity, But ruin to the workers of iniquity.
