    See: the fear of the Lord is wisdom;
    and avoiding evil is understanding.(A)

Footnotes

  1. 28:28 This verse may be a later addition expressing a commonplace of the wisdom tradition; see cross-references. The addition seems to tie the poem in with the description of Job as fearing God and avoiding evil (1:1, 8; 2:3).
