‘A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
‘To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.’
—Proverbs 1:5–7
‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.’
—Proverbs 9:10
