The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.. (Proverbs 9:10)
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.. (Proverbs 8:13)
– To hate evil is the beginning of wisdom.
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver. (Proverbs 16:16)
For wisdom is better than jewels;
And all desirable things cannot compare with her. (Proverbs 8:11)
Gold or glass cannot equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.
Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned;
And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.
The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
Nor can it be valued in pure gold. (Job 28:17-19)
In agreement. Please reveal to us, Lord God Most High, the practicality of this; what this ‘looks like’ in our lives, in our hearts, in the mirror. So be it. Thanks and praise be unto Your name forever and ever!
