Proverbs 1:7
King James Version
“The fear of the LORD the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Context
4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5A wise will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7The fear of the LORD the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9For they an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
