Current coverage includes Proverbs. More books are being added.
Proverbs treats knowledge as teachability and true understanding rooted in the fear of the LORD. It is more than information: it includes moral insight, awareness of consequences, and the ability to choose what is fitting. The wise seek knowledge; the foolish reject it.
7The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
2He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, But he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
33The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.
15The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
2It isn`t good to have zeal without knowledge; Nor being hasty with one`s feet and missing the way.
5Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, And find the knowledge of God.
6For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
17Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
3I have not learned wisdom, Neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
10The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
