The fear of the LORD {is} the beginning of knowledge: {but} fools despise wisdom and instruction. {the beginning: or, the principal part}

The fear of the LORD {is} the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do {his commandments}: his praise endureth for ever. {a good...: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. {guide...: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? {them that are} weaned from the milk, {and} drawn from the breasts. {doctrine: Heb. the hearing?}

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Come {and} hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed {are they that} keep my ways.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. {Train...: or, Catechise} {in...: Heb. in his way}

But when Jesus saw {it}, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these {things} God will bring thee into judgment.

Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. {guide...: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}

Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed {thereto} according to thy word.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Come {and} hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: {in: Heb. from}

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which {be} the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

The fear of the LORD {is} the instruction of wisdom; and before honour {is} humility.

If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Or ministry, {let us wait} on {our} ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

The fear of the LORD {is} clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD {are} true {and} righteous altogether. {true: Heb. truth}

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. {long...: Heb. years of life}

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.] Hear this, all {ye} people; give ear, all {ye} inhabitants of the world: {for: or, of}

Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. {prolongeth: Heb. addeth}

Wherefore do ye spend money for {that which is} not bread? and your labour for {that which} satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye {that which is} good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. {spend: Heb. weigh}

Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, {even} to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father {doth} his children,

Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that {is} within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. {discretion: or, advisement}

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
