Page 1 / 2 (Pro 1:7–Pro 16:33)
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 [fn]fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline.
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD [that is, obeying Him with reverence and awe-filled respect],
Then you will understand the [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome]
And discover the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives [skillful and godly] wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil.
My son, do not reject or take lightly the discipline of the LORD [learn from your mistakes and the testing that comes from His correction through discipline];
Nor despise His rebuke,
For those whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
The LORD by His wisdom has founded the earth;
By His understanding He has established the heavens.
For the LORD will be your confidence, firm and strong,
And will keep your foot from being caught [in a trap].
For the devious are repulsive to the LORD;
But His private counsel is with the upright [those with spiritual integrity and moral courage].
The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the home of the just and righteous.
For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the LORD,
And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].
“The [reverent] fear and worshipful awe of the LORD includes the hatred of evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way,
And the perverted mouth, I hate.
“The LORD created and possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old [were accomplished].
The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence],
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight.
The LORD will not allow the [fn]righteous to hunger [God will meet all his needs],
But He will reject and cast away the craving of the wicked.
The blessing of the LORD brings [true] riches,
And He adds no sorrow to it [for it comes as a blessing from God].
The [reverent] fear of the LORD [worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect] prolongs one’s life,
But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
But it is ruin to those who do evil.
A false balance and dishonest business practices are extremely offensive to the LORD,
But an accurate scale is His delight.
The perverse in heart are repulsive and shamefully vile to the LORD,
But those who are blameless and above reproach in their walk are His delight!
A good man will obtain favor from the LORD,
But He will condemn a man who devises evil.
Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the LORD,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.
He who walks in uprightness [reverently] fears the LORD [and obeys and worships Him with profound respect],
But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.
In the [reverent] fear of the LORD there is strong confidence,
And His children will [always] have a place of refuge.
The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that leads to obedience and worship] is a fountain of life,
So that one may avoid the snares of death.
The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors].
The sacrifice of the wicked is hateful and exceedingly offensive to the LORD,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight!
The way [of life] of the wicked is hateful and exceedingly offensive to the LORD,
But He loves one who pursues righteousness [personal integrity, moral courage and honorable character].
Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the abyss, the place of eternal punishment) lie open before the LORD—
How much more the hearts and inner motives of the children of men.
Better is a little with the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the LORD
Than great treasure and trouble with it.
The LORD will tear down the house of the proud and arrogant (self-righteous),
But He will establish and protect the boundaries [of the land] of the [godly] widow.
Evil plans and thoughts of the wicked are exceedingly vile and offensive to the LORD,
But pure words are pleasant words to Him.
The LORD is far from the wicked [and distances Himself from them],
But He hears the prayer of the [consistently] righteous [that is, those with spiritual integrity and moral courage].
The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the instruction for wisdom [its starting point and its essence];
And before honor comes humility.
The plans and reflections of the heart belong to man,
But the [wise] answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions],
But the LORD weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth].
[fn]Commit your works to the LORD [submit and trust them to Him],
And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance].
The LORD has made everything for its own purpose,
Even the wicked [according to their role] for the day of evil.
Everyone who is proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting and exceedingly offensive to the LORD;
Be assured he will not go unpunished.
By mercy and lovingkindness and truth [not superficial ritual] wickedness is cleansed from the heart,
And by the fear of the LORD one avoids evil.
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life],
But the LORD directs his steps and establishes them.
A just balance and [honest] scales are the LORD’S;
All the weights of the bag are His concern [established by His eternal principles].
He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good,
And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the LORD.
