Psalms111:10
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom : a good understanding have all they that do his commandments : his praise endureth for ever.
Piety or true Religion, which consists in the fear or worship and service of God.
Is the onely foundation of and introduction to all true wisdom. Or, is the chief part of wisdom, those things which are most excellent in their kinds being oft said to be first, to wit, in dignity, as Numb. 24. 20. Deut. 18. 4, &c. and in other Authors. And the first command, Mark 12. 28. is called the greatest command, Mat. 22. 36.
Heb. that do them, to wit, Gods commands, or the things which the fear of God requireth.
Marginal references: Deut. 4. 6. Job 28. 28. Prov. 1. 7. & 9. 10. Eccles. 12. 13.; Or, good success.; Heb. that do them. Psal. 19. 9.
