Proverbs 1:29

The Call Of Lady Wisdom

²⁸
“Then they will call upon me (Wisdom), but I will not answer;
They will seek me eagerly but they will not find me,
²⁹ 
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord [that is, obeying Him with reverence and awe-filled respect],
³⁰
They would not accept my counsel,
And they spurned all my rebuke.

Fear of the Lord

Fear the Lord

Jehovah
