| Proverbs 1:7 | *The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Psalm 110:10.; Ecclesiasticus 1:16. | Fear. Thus we arrive at charity. (St. Augustine, in ep. Jo. ix.; Job 28:28., etc.) This fear includes religion, but not barren speculations. (Calmet) --- It implies a desire to act, and not simply to understand. |
