 | To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. |
 | The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. |
 | The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate. |
| Proverbs 8:13 |
Commentary
Wisdom hates what God hates (cf. 6:16-19; Ps. 5:5). The highest virtue is humility (submission to God), and thus wisdom hates pride and self-exaltation above all.

"The Fear of the Lord"
The phrase takes into account a lifestyle in which people take seriously an all-wise, all-powerful, and all-righteous God who holds them responsible for their behavior.
