We start with one short verse this week, but it actually holds an infinite amount of truth, and we compare it with other verses in Proverbs as well. Proverbs 1:7 is like the motto or theme of the whole book, and it reminds us where true wisdom comes from. It also points out the consequences of living foolishly.
Read Proverbs 1:7 here: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." (NIV)
Other verses mentioned:
"the fear of the LORD" -- Prov. 10:27; 14:26-27; 16:6 and see also Prov. 9:10 & Psalm 111:10
Types of "fools" in Proverbs:
peti' -- Prov. 1:4 and 7:7 (that's the one Pastor Stuart forgot in the video)
nabal -- Prov. 17:7; 30:22
k'esil -- Prov. 10:1, 23
'eveel -- Prov 26:12; 12:15-16
