Refrain
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
To know wisdom and instruction,
Justice, judgment, and equity,
Hear the instruction of thy Father,
And forsake not the law.
Refrain
Fools despise wisdom and instruction,
He has called, but they refused.
He says, “My son if sinners entice thee,
Consent thou not.”
Refrain
Wisdom crieth without,
she uttereth her voice in the streets.
How long ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
He says, “But whoso hearkeneth unto me
Shall dwell safely and shall be quiet from the fear of evil.”
