-
Fear of Jehovah [is] a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!
-
Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.
-
Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.
-
For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.
-
Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.
-
Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.
-
Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;
-
Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,
-
For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
-
Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.
-
For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.
-
For an abomination to Jehovah [is] the perverted, And with the upright [is] His secret counsel.
-
The curse of Jehovah [is] in the house of the wicked. And the habitation of the righteous He blesseth.
-
For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.
-
These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations to His soul.
-
The fear of Jehovah [is] to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.
-
Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.
-
For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.
-
The commencement of wisdom [is] the fear of Jehovah, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones [is] understanding.
-
Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.
-
The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
-
The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
-
The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
-
Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.
-
An abomination to Jehovah [are] the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way [are] His delight.
