Thematic Bible: What is understanding
Thematic Bible
Understanding » What is understanding
He has commanded mankind: "To fear the Lord that is wisdom; to move away from evil that is understanding.'"
The fear of the LORD is where wisdom begins, and knowing holiness demonstrates understanding.
"I, wisdom, am related to prudence. I know how to be discreet. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. Pride, arrogance, an evil lifestyle, and perverted speech I despise. Counsel belongs to me, along with sound judgment. I am understanding. Power belongs to me.
See! I taught you the statutes and the ordinances, just as the LORD God commanded. Therefore, observe them when you enter the land you are about to possess. Observe them carefully, because this will show your wisdom and discernment in the eyes of people who'll listen to all these decrees. Then they'll say: "Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people.'
