It starts with fear

Proverbs 9:10 begins by saying, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”  

Fear is where we start.

But judging Proverbs by the numbers, it would be wise for us to keep a very close eye on the characteristics of the wicked and the righteous:

  • Wicked(ness) (91x)
  • Righteous(ness)(90x)
  • LORD (88x)
  • Way (80x)
  • Wise (62x)
  • Evil (59x)
  • Fool(s) (58x)
  • Understand(ing) (56x)

Thanks for joining me on the journey!
