The beginning of God Knowledge - The proverbs of King Solomon the son of King David, King of Israel:
Proverb: Chapter 1, Verse 1-7
To know wisdom and instruction,
To perceive the words of understanding,
To receive the instruction of Wisdom, Justice, judgment and equity;
To give prudence to the simple,
To the young man knowledge and discretion.
A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
To understand a proverb and enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverb: Chapter 2, Verse 1-6 & 10-11
My Son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discerning spirit,
and lift up your voice for understanding.
If you seek Her (i.e. Bible teaching) as silver,
And search for Her (i.e. Bible teaching) as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the Fear Of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom,
From His month comes knowledge and understanding;
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright,
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.
When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
Discretion will preserve you;
And Understanding will keeps you.
Proverb: Chapter 4, Vese 1-7
Hear My children, the instruction of a father,
And give attention to know understanding,
For I give you a good doctrine,
Do not forsake my law.
When I was my father's son,
Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,
He also taught me and said to me;
Let your heart retain my words,
Keep my command and live.
Get Wisdom! Get Understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
Do not forsake her (i.e. Bible teaching) and she will preserve you,
Love her (i.e. Bible teaching) and she will keeps you.
Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get Wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
