NASB | Proverbs 1:7 ¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 1:7 ¶ The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; But arrogant fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline. [Ps 111:10] |
Bible Question:
How does wisdom in general function in the OT? God bless the hat lady |
Bible Answer: Tam: Apart from God's wisdom, which of course is perfect: not very well! Sorry about no scriptural references, but since we are generalizing anyway, as per your question: my love of brevity compels me! :-) "When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise." Prov 10:19 Eccl 5:2-3 Shalom and God bless John |
