The Beginning of Knowledge
To know, to understand, receive:
wise dealings, righteous equity.
To share and know what to impart:
to youth; the simple; progeny.
To parse, extract, discern shared words;
to sift the wheat, the chaff release.
The one, once guided, ever guides,
And thus does wisdom sure increase.
To start the journey, one must fear
the Lord, his portion, and his lot.
And so He sojourns with the wise,
but fools despise, receive Him not.
(musings on Proverbs 1)
