American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
The fear of Jehovah is the {Or, chief part}beginning of knowledge;But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father,And forsake not the {Or, teaching}law of thy mother:
For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head,And chains about thy neck.
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Jehovah, he is God; Jehovah, he is God.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; {Or, Good repute}A good understanding have all they that do {Hebrew: them.}his commandments:His praise endureth for ever.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom;And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
And unto man he said,Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;And to depart from evil is understanding.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
