- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.Next verse!With image
