Proverbs 1:7

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

Proverbs 9:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short.

This is a fear that should never be tampered with and should keep you between the lines all the days of your life.

Give it some thought.
