Wisdom is to be desired for the blessedness it brings To fear the LORD The phrase "to fear the LORD" is central to the wisdom literature of the Bible, particularly in Proverbs. The Hebrew word for "fear" is "yirah," which encompasses a profound respect, reverence, and awe for God. This fear is not about being afraid in a negative sense but is about recognizing God's majesty and authority. In a conservative Christian perspective, this reverence is foundational to a life of faith and obedience. It is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and signifies a relationship with God that acknowledges His holiness and righteousness. is to hate evil I hate arrogant pride evil conduct and perverse speech Pride and arrogancy . . . do I hate.--See above on Proverbs 6:17. Verse 13. - The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. Wisdom here enunciates the proposition which is the foundation of all her teaching, only here, as it were, on the reverse side, net as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 9:10), but as the hatred of evil; she then proceeds to particularize the evil which the Lord hates. Taking the clause in this sense, we have no need to alter the persons and forms of the verbs to "I fear the Lord, I hate evil," as Dathe and others suggest; still less to suppress the whole paragraph as a late insertion. These violent measures are arbitrary and quite unnecessary, the present text allowing a natural and sufficient exposition. There can be no fellowship between light and darkness; he who serves the Lord must renounce the works of the devil. Pride and arrogancy, which are opposed to the sovereign virtue of humility, are the first sins which Wisdom names. These are among the things which the Lord is said to hate (Proverbs 6:17, etc.). "Initium omnis peccati est superbia" (Ecclus. 10:15, Vet. Lat.). The evil way; i.e. sins of conduct, "way" being, as commonly, equivalent to "manner of life."
