The Foundation of Knowledge
Proverbs 1:7
Showing verse 7 with surrounding context.
4
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7
¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10
¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
