The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 1:7 Go To Proverbs 1

John Chrysostom

AD 407
Piety toward God is a beginning [of discernment]. It acts as a fountain and source for discerning the divine, according to our inner being, so that we may see the true light, hear the secret oracles, be nourished with the bread of life, obtain the fragrance of Christ and learn the doctrine of this life. When we have piety, our senses too are allied with us, when neither our eyes see nor our mouth speaks evil. Commentary on the Proverbs of Solomon, Fragment
