Monday 1-6-20, Tevet 10, 5780 2nd. day of the weekly cycle, 17th. Winter day

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs Nine:10

Proverbs Nine:1-12

The House Of Wisdom:

1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

First we need to define "fear". Fear of the Lord means respect, reverence or Awe. Not fear as in being afraid of Him.

I think it means terrified.  Look it up in a Greek Dictionary.

and JESUS says

LUKE 12:5 but I will forewarn you whom you shall fear fear HIM which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell yea I say fear HIM

HEBREWS 13:6 so that we may boldly say THE LORD is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me 

 

LOVING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

missmuffet, you are correct, Fear of the Lord means respect, reverence or Awe.

Now:

What does it mean the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom?

In proverbs, where it speaks of the fear of the Lord, it means reverence, but it also means dreadful, exceedingly fearful.  It is from the Hebrew word yirah.  In different places, you find  different words translated to fear.

In Philippians where it speaks of working out our salvation with fear and trembling, that is from the Greek word phobos, and that means  alarm or fright, be afraid,  exceedingly, fear, terror.

Amen, within the OP context, did you find anything wrong with Proverbs 9:10 ?
