- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools are those who despise wisdom and instruction. - If you would seriously consider my reproof,
I would pour out my thoughts to you
and make my precepts known to you.
Therefore, you have no excuse, whoever you may be, when you pass judgment on others. For in judging others you condemn yourself, since you are doing the same things. And not only that, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we realize that suffering develops perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope.Next verse!With image
