Proverbs 9:10-12

MSG

NIV

10 Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God, insight into life from knowing a Holy God.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 It's through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens, and the years of your life ripen.
11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.
12 Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life; mock life and life will mock you. Madame Whore Calls Out, Too
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
