Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; (But) the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.
By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for; And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.
(This is) the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole (duty) of man.
