Commentary on Proverbs 2:5
The 'fear of the LORD' is not servile terror but reverential awe that acknowledges His holiness and our dependence. This fear is the epistemological foundation for all true knowledge—without it, wisdom is impossible. Finding 'knowledge of God' is the ultimate goal, surpassing mere moral improvement or practical success.
