The Fear of The Lord, Is The Beginning of Wisdom; Proverbs 9-15.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense. The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is appropriate, but the mouth of the wicked, only what is perverse. When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them. Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath, but righteousness rescues from death. The righteousness of the blameless clears his path, but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness. The righteousness of the upright rescues them, but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires. When the wicked man dies, his expectation comes to nothing, and hope placed in wealth vanishes. A city is built up by the blessing of the upright, but it is torn down by the mouth of the wicked. Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense, but a man with understanding keeps silent. A gossip goes around revealing a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence. A beautiful woman who rejects good sense is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. One person gives freely, yet gains more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor. A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue, only a moment.
