"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.... Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from the fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:7,29-33).
Foolishness bears a harvest of fruit
For reapers who sow their destruction.
Refusing the fear of the Lord is its root
And hating His Word of instruction.
How awful this fruit is that many will eat
Because they must have their own way!
And those who admire their way will repeat
The sins that have led them astray.
The turning away of the simple shall slay
And feed them with their condemnation.
But those who will listen to God and obey
Shall safely inhabit salvation.
