- 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.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.Next verse!With image
