7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge.+ Wisdom and discipline are what mere fools have despised.+

29 for the reason that they hated knowledge,+ and the fear of Jehovah they did not choose.+

16 A leader that is in want of true discernment is also abundant in fraudulent practices,+ but he that is hating unjust profit+ will prolong [his] days.
