Proverbs 1:7

The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence];But arrogant [a]fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline. The Enticement of Sinners

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning. 8-19 Pay close attention, friend, to what your father tells you; never forget what you learned at your mother’s knee.Wear their counsel like flowers in your hair, like rings on your fingers.Dear friend, if bad companions tempt you, don’t go along with them.If they say—“Let’s go out and raise some hell. Let’s beat up some old man, mug some old woman.Let’s pick them clean and get them ready for their funerals.We’ll load up on top-quality loot. We’ll haul it home by the truckload.Join us for the time of your life! With us, it’s share and share alike!”—Oh, friend, don’t give them a second look; don’t listen to them for a minute.They’re racing to a very bad end, hurrying to ruin everything they lay hands on.Nobody robs a bank with everyone watching,Yet that’s what these people are doing— they’re doing themselves in.When you grab all you can get, that’s what happens: the more you get, the less you are. Lady Wisdom20-21 Lady Wisdom goes out in the street and shouts. At the town center she makes her speech.In the middle of the traffic she takes her stand. At the busiest corner she calls out: 22-24 “Simpletons! How long will you wallow in ignorance? Cynics! How long will you feed your cynicism?Idiots! How long will you refuse to learn? About face! I can revise your life.Look, I’m ready to pour out my spirit on you; I’m ready to tell you all I know.As it is, I’ve called, but you’ve turned a deaf ear; I’ve reached out to you, but you’ve ignored me. 25-28 “Since you laugh at my counsel and make a joke of my advice,How can I take you seriously? I’ll turn the tables and joke about your troubles!What if the roof falls in, and your whole life goes to pieces?What if catastrophe strikes and there’s nothing to show for your life but rubble and ashes?You’ll need me then. You’ll call for me, but don’t expect an answer. No matter how hard you look, you won’t find me. 29-33 “Because you hated Knowledge and had nothing to do with the Fear-of-God,Because you wouldn’t take my advice and brushed aside all my offers to train you,Well, you’ve made your bed—now lie in it; you wanted your own way—now, how do you like it?Don’t you see what happens, you simpletons, you idiots? Carelessness kills; complacency is murder.First pay attention to me, and then relax. Now you can take it easy—you’re in good hands.”
