The fear of יהוה is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and discipline. My son, heed the discipline of your father, And do not forsake the Torah of your mother

“For the turning away of the simple kills them, And the complacency of fools destroys them. “But whoever listens to me dwells safely, And is at ease from the dread of evil.”

The wise one hears and increases learning, And the understanding one gets wise counsel

My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in.

The proverbs of Shelomoh son of Dawiḏ, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl: For knowing wisdom and discipline, For understanding the words of understanding, For receiving the discipline of wisdom, Righteousness, right-ruling, and straightness; For giving insight to the simple, Knowledge and discretion to the young.

“Let them then call on me, but I answer not; Let them seek me, but not find me. “Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of יהוה
