Proverbs 8:13
(Jubilee Bible 2000)
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride, arrogancy, the evil way,
and the perverse mouth, do I hate.

summary:

Here, wisdom is shown as the path to justice, prudence, and knowledge. It leads rulers to rule rightly, and it is the source of real and lasting wealth. Wisdom describes her rewards as better than silver, gold, or any material wealth.

The Value of Wisdom
In verses 10-11, wisdom is portrayed as more valuable than silver, gold, or jewels. This highlights the incomparable worth of wisdom in guiding our lives.

Seek Wisdom Daily
Make it a habit to seek wisdom through prayer, Bible study, and reflection, recognizing its supreme value in your life.

Evaluate Your Choices
Use the principles of wisdom to evaluate your daily decisions, ensuring they align with truth and righteousness.

Embrace Humility
Acknowledge that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10), which requires a humble heart open to God’s guidance.

Share Wisdom with Others
Just as wisdom calls out to all, be proactive in sharing godly wisdom with those around you, offering guidance and support.

Wisdom
Wisdom is personified as a woman calling out to people, urging them to seek understanding and knowledge. In the Hebrew text, the word for wisdom is “חָכְמָה” (chokhmah), which is feminine. Wisdom is depicted as being present at the creation of the world and is described as a fundamental aspect of God’s creative work.

Proverbs 8: 22-31
(1599 Geneva Bible)
The Lord hath possessed me in the beginning of his way: I was before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, and before the earth.
24 When there were no depths, was I begotten, when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled: and before the hills, was I begotten.
26 He had not yet made the earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there, when he set the compass upon the deep:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he confirmed the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave his decree to the sea, that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth.
30 Then was I with him as a nourisher, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him,
31 And took my solace in the compass of his earth: and my delight is with the children of men.

Matthew Poole’s Commentary
The fear of the Lord; which he had before noted to be the beginning of wisdom, Proverbs 1:7.
Is to hate evil; it consists in a careful abstinence from all sin, and that not from carnal or prudential motives, but from a true dislike and hatred of it.
Pride; which he mentions first, as that which is most hateful to God, and most opposite to true wisdom and to the fear of God, which constantly produce humility.
The evil way; all wicked actions, especially sinful custom: and courses.
The froward mouth; false doctrines, and bad counsels and deceits.

Gill’s Exposition
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil,…. All evil in general, evil thoughts, evil words, evil actions, evil company, evil worship, and evil doctrines; and by “the fear of the Lord”, which shows itself in an hatred of evil, because of the loathsome nature of it, and being contrary to God and his will, and as it appears in the glass of the law, and especially in the glass of pardoning love, is meant not the fear of his judgments and wrath, or a distrust of his grace and goodness, much less an hypocritical fear, or a mere show of devotion; but a reverential affection for him, which is peculiar to children; a filial, godly fear, which is consistent with strong faith, great joy, and true courage; and is opposite to pride and self-confidence, and is accompanied with real holiness; it takes its rise from the grace of God, and is greatly increased and promoted by the discoveries of his love and goodness: this is brought into the account and description of wisdom, to distinguish it from carnal wisdom; to commend wisdom from its holiness; for this the beginning of wisdom, yea, wisdom itself, (Bible Hub)
