The Fear of Jehovah Brings Wisdom and Discipline Brings Understanding

It suggests that a proper fear or respect for God is necessary for gaining wisdom, and that humility is a prerequisite for receiving honor. In other words, true wisdom and honor come from humility before God and a willingness to submit to His guidance and instruction.

Historically, this verse is part of the book of Proverbs in the Hebrew Bible, which is believed to have been written by King Solomon, the son of King David, and is believed to have been written around the 10th century BC. The book of Proverbs is a collection of moral and practical advice and is meant to instruct readers on how to live a wise and fulfilling life.

In the cultural context of ancient Israel, the fear of the Lord was a central aspect of religious life. It involved recognizing God’s power and authority and submitting to His will. The belief was that by fearing and honoring God, one would be able to gain wisdom and understanding of His ways. The instruction for wisdom was believed to come from God, and this verse reflects that belief.

In addition, humility was highly valued in ancient Israel. It was seen as a prerequisite for receiving honor, as true honor was believed to come from God, and not from self-promotion or self-aggrandizement.
