"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. The Enticement of Sinners (Proverbs 1:7, NASB)"
"20 Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square; 21 At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: 22 "How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge? (Proverbs 1:20-22, NASB)"
"2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; 4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:2-6, NASB)"
"He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, (Proverbs 2:7, NASB)"
