The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge, [But] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom, And to depart from evil [is] understanding.' "

The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do [His commandments.] His praise endures forever.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.

Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.

I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.

" As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.

"All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and [the one] to whom the Son wills to reveal [Him.]

"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
