Proverbs 9:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ “Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord.
    And understanding begins with knowing God, the Holy One.
¹¹ If you live wisely, you will live a long time.
    Wisdom will add years to your life.
¹² The wise person is rewarded by his wisdom.
    But a person who makes fun of wisdom will suffer for it.”
