Proverbs 9:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
¹¹ For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and the years of your life will be increased.
¹² If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself,
    but if you scorn, you alone will bear it.
