-
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
-
Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord.
-
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And discover the knowledge of God.
-
For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
-
Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
-
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
-
Honor the Lord from your wealth, And from the first of all your produce;
-
My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord Or loathe His rebuke,
-
For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, Just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
-
The Lord founded the earth by wisdom, He established the heavens by understanding.
-
For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.
-
For the devious are an abomination to the Lord; But He is intimate with the upright.
-
The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the righteous.
-
For the ways of everyone are before the eyes of the Lord, And He observes all his paths.
-
There are six things that the Lord hates, Seven that are an abomination to Him:
-
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride, arrogance, the evil way, And the perverted mouth, I hate.
-
“The Lord created me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
-
For one who finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the Lord.
-
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
-
The Lord will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked.
-
It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it.
-
The fear of the Lord prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
-
The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright, But ruin to the workers of injustice.
-
Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight.
-
The perverse in heart are an abomination to the Lord, But the blameless in their walk are His delight.
