Proverbs 9:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ The ^(A)fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
¹¹ For ^(B)by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
¹² If you are wise, you are wise ^(C)for yourself,
And if you ^(D)scoff, you alone will ^[a]suffer from it.
