Proverbs 1:2-7 – To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth —

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
