Proverbs 1:1-7

Proverbs 1:1–7 LSB
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and discipline, To understand the sayings of understanding, To receive discipline that leads to insight, Righteousness, justice, and equity, To give prudence to the simple, To the youth knowledge and discretion; Let the wise man hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire guidance, To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; Ignorant fools despise wisdom and discipline.

The dissection of ideas through hearing and reading. Hearing is done through a verbal or oral presentation. Hearing by reading through written communication.

By Acquiring

Guidance to solve a mystery or puzzle of a person or thing. The removal of the difficulties to interpret.

Fear is the beginning

“The unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm, an unwelcome happening.”

Yahweh - The proper name for God the Father. The beginning of wisdom is therefore, the unwelcoming happening of pain, harm, danger, and the anxiety of the power/providence/justice of God the Father.

Ignorant Fools

Individuals who are easily deceived, duped, and tricked. Individuals who are casual, lazy, and frivolous. Individuals who lack seriousness, depth, and empty-headed. Individuals who are reckless, rash, and are unwise. Individuals who are unaware, uninformed, discourteous, and easily angered.

Ignorant comes from the French and Latin word to intentionally disregard. These individuals blatantly and intentionally disregard God and knowledge. They fail to consider the judgments of God, consequences of their decisions, and the gravity of their position.
