The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge

Proverbs 1:7

To fear the Lord is to hate evil;

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.

I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech. 

Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.

Proverbs 8:12‭-‬14
