The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Yahweh, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
In context
8Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 9Give to the wise, and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous, and they will add to their learning. 10The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Yahweh, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11For through me your days will be many, and years of life will be added to you. 12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; and if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
